British police arrested 45 people on Thursday during a protest in London against the transfer of asylum seekers staying in a hotel to a barge off southern England.

LONDON, May 2 -

Critics, however, have called the Bibby Stockholm barge -- which is docked at Portland Port in Dorset and can house up to 500 men -- inhumane and compared it to a prison ship. Arrests were made for offences including obstruction of the highway, obstructing police and assault on police.
