UK protesters try stop migrant removals from temporary accommodation

Description

Protesters in London try to block the removal of migrants from their temporary accommodation, as the UK government began detaining people before controversial deportation flights to Rwanda start. The protesters occupy the road in front of a bus believed to be waiting to take asylum seekers from a hotel in the Peckham area of the British capital to an accommodation barge moored off the south coast of England. A London Metropolitan Police statement said a number of people had been arrested. IMAGES
