Demonstrators protest outside the Home Office in London
Campaigners say the former prince must face criminal probe
HUNDREDS of people are expected to gather outside the Home Office in London on Thursday to protest at ministers’ “institutional neglect” of unaccompanied child asylum-seekers.
The demonstration, due at 6pm, has been organised by the Action Against Detention and Deportation (AADD) coalition to demand that the government takes steps in response to revelations that 200 children have gone missing from Home Office hotels in the past 18 months.
Reports say that many have been abducted by trafficking gangs.
