Migrant hotel protestors in court accused of being in 'violent mob'

Two men who were at an asylum hotel protest were part of a 'violent mob' who attacked police officers and turned the area into 'a scene of disorder and chaos', a court has heard. Lee Gower, 43, and Phillip Curson, 53, are said to have been involved in multiple incidents outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex. Both deny committing violent disorder during the demonstrations on July 17 last year.
