On the evening of September 8, a group of approximately 40 masked protesters gathered outside a four-star hotel in a northern suburb of Portsmouth, United Kingdom. The demonstrators mistakenly targeted the location under the false belief that asylum seekers had been housed there.
Upon arriving at the site, the crowd discovered that the guests staying at the hotel were actually members of Pakistan's Under-19 cricket team. The incident occurred approximately 48 hours after a separate protest in the area disrupted the disembarkation of migrants near the port city.
