The protests began after an asylum seeker living at the hotel was arrested and charged with sexual assault, harassment and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Hadush Kebatu, 41, from Ethiopia, has denied the offences and remains in custody on remand.

The force says 10 people have been arrested in connection with the demonstrations outside The Bell Hotel, which is used to house asylum seekers. We use cookies to give you the best online experience. Strictly necessary cookies are on by default. Additional cookies are off by default.
