Exclusive: Post-riots letter urges Home Office to ensure evacuation protocols are clear, and to house people in communities instead
More than 50 refugee organisations have written to the home secretary calling for urgent protections to be put in place for asylum seekers living in hotels who may be at risk from further far-right attacks.
Several asylum seeker hotels were targeted by violent mobs, including those in Hull and Tamworth, earlier this month. A Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham was the site of a particularly violent and sustained attack, during which fires were started and parts of the building trashed.
