200 missing person posters have been left outside the Home Office in protest at the number of children who have disappeared from government-funded asylum hotels.

The posters, which read “Missing! 200+ children. Disappeared in Home Office enabled disappearance”, were placed in front of the office on Marsham street, Westminster by the activist group Lesbians and Gays Support The Migrants (LGSMigrants).

The group blamed the government for failing to keep the children safe, saying their disappearance was an “inevitable result of the Hostile Environment”.
