Original Note:
The man who died had been arrested for drug offences before becoming unwell in police custody. There is nothing to suggest that he was involved in any protests. The Britannia Hotel in Wigan is open and taking bookings, so it is not likely to be housing asylum seekers. https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/news/iopc-investigation-begins-following-wigan-death-custody https://uk.news.yahoo.com/police-watchdog-probing-death-man-200247269.html https://www.britanniahotels.com/hotels/the-britannia-wigan-hotel
