Inside the battle to save the child asylum seekers taken from UK migrant hotels Police cannot account for 76 minors taken in Brighton among hundreds kidnapped and exploited. After campaigning for months, Sasha Haddad gathered with friends under Brighton’s seafront clock tower last week and realised her fight for the city’s missing migrant children was gaining support. Candles flickered in the breeze at the impromptu vigil of hundreds who were demanding the return of young unaccompanied asylum seekers missing for months. Hotels in the seaside city are being used to house vulnerable young asylum seekers after their perilous journeys to the UK. But far from being places of sanctuary, the venues have become a target for gangs attempting to lure the children into the UK’s criminal underworld. From only one of Brighton’s hotels, more than 200 children — some as young as 11 — have gone missing. Police have told The National that 76 from that hotel alone are still unaccounted for after searches, while nationally the figure stands at more than 440. https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/uk-news/2023/03/10/inside-the-battle-to-save-the-child-asylum-seekers-taken-from-uk-migrant-hotels/
