Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - LONDON — A large anti-immigrant protest turned violent on Sunday as far-right demonstrators attacked a Rotherham hotel housing asylum seekers, smashing windows and setting the building on fire.
The incident took place just before midday and was marked by intense clashes between far-right demonstrators, police, and counter-protesters.
The mob, many draped in England and Union Jack flags, gathered in significant numbers outside the Holiday Inn Express. The demonstration quickly escalated, with protestors hurling objects at police officers, forcing them to retreat.
Footage posted on social media captured the chaotic scene as protesters broke into the hotel's ground floor through shattered windows and set it on fire.
A counter rally in support of migrant rights was also held, with participants chanting pro-migrant slogans in response to the anti-immigrant sentiment. Tensions between the two groups further fueled the volatility of the situation.
At least one police officer was injured, raising fears about further unrest. Authorities reported at least 100 arrests following the eruption of violence, not only in Rotherham but across the UK, with more demonstrations planned for later on Sunday.
Similar protests are expected in Bolton, Lancaster, Middlesborough, Weymouth, and Newcastle upon Tyne this afternoon.
Witnesses reported seeing masked rioters, some draped in England flags, throwing pieces of wood and chairs at police officers who had formed a line in front of the hotel in an attempt to control the situation. Despite their efforts, the disorder continued to grow more violent.
Local authorities are on high alert, anticipating more violent protests across the country on Sunday.
The unrest follows the tragic killing of three young girls in Southport on Monday, an event that has further strained community relations and sparked additional episodes of disorder in towns and cities across England. — Agencies
