PROTESTERS in Brighton condemned the reopening of a hotel where 136 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children have been reported missing.
More than 100 people demonstrated outside Brighton Town Hall on Tuesday evening, urging council leaders to make good on their threats to mount a legal challenge against the Home Office’s decision.
In January, it emerged dozens of asylum-seeking children had been kidnapped from the hotel by gangs.
