Two men pleaded guilty to violence and vandalism at a 2025 protest over asylum housing in Essex, injuring eight officers.
Two men, Luke Fleming, 21, and Shaun Thompson, 38, admitted to violent disorder and criminal damage following a July 17, 2025, protest outside The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, which housed asylum seekers.
The demonstration, linked to the case of Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu—an asylum seeker convicted of assaulting a 14-year-old and later wrongfully released before deportation to Ethiopia—turned violent, with protesters throwing projectiles and damaging a police vehicle.
At least eight officers were injured.
Both men were released on bail, with sentencing pending.
The incident is part of a broader pattern of unrest over asylum housing and immigration-related tensions in the UK.
