A group of asylum seekers being housed at the expense of the British taxpayer in a Reading hotel have staged a hunger strike, protesting against the quality of the free food they are given.<\/p>\n

One of the migrants leading the strike, Salahe Lakhdar, claimed that the food was unhealthy and the portions too small, leading to some of the migrants losing weight.<\/p>\n

Lakhdar, who said he has been staying in the hotel for three months, told<\/a> Sky News: \u201cThese people have been living in the hotel for nine months without going anywhere, without seeing any family, without seeing friends, without doing any activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know it\u2019s bad for everyone, for UK residents, and we respect that and we wish them the very best and we hope this time passes soon \u2014 but it\u2019s very bad for these people as well,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old migrant claimed some in the hotel have experienced medical issues as a result of the food, alleging that \u201cmany people\u201d have gone to the hospital as a result of the food.<\/p>\n

Lakhdar said he wants \u201csome sign\u201d from the government that their supposed plight has been heard, and that their asylum claims will be progressed.<\/p>\n
