Original Note:
The Britannia Hotel in Wigan is open and taking bookings, so it is not likely to be housing asylum seekers. https://www.britanniahotels.com/hotels/the-britannia-wigan-hotel 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. 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
