The refugee family arrived in Greater Manchester last year
A refugee who went on hunger strike following allegations he was assaulted at a hotel accommodating asylum seekers in Stockport has had charges against him dropped. Shay Babagar and his wife were accused of refusing to leave Stepping Hill Hospital after NHS staff asked them to do so last November.
He said: "Seeking asylum is not a crime. I hope that all the other people in the hotels take strength from this climbdown by the Criminal Justice system. The human rights activist went on hunger strike in November to highlight the conditions asylum seekers are allegedly facing at hotels. Allegations of assault at the hotel in Stockport were reported to the police while Shay and his wife were in hospital where they were arrested for refusing to leave when asked to.
