UK grandfather dies in prison after controversial sentencing for anti-immigration protest

Peter Lynch news

Peter Lynch, a 61-year-old grandfather, has died in HMP Moorland, reportedly taking his own life after being jailed for his involvement in a protest against the housing of illegal immigrants.

Lynch was sentenced to two years and eight months in August following a protest at the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham, where tensions had risen over the government’s immigration policies. Protesters believed the voices of local citizens were being ignored as more asylum seekers were placed in their towns.

During the protest, Lynch expressed frustration at authorities and the media, holding a placard calling them “corrupt”, and yelling at officers.

His sentencing drew criticism from those who felt the punishment was harsh for what they saw as a legitimate outcry over unchecked immigration and the strain it places on local communities.

Lynch had no previous criminal record.

His death in custody has sparked an outcry over the government’s handling of both immigration and its treatment of those who voice opposition to it.

An investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman is now underway.

  1. There’s a blogger in UK

    Who would go around documenting migrant hotels
    Haven’t seen anything new for ages
    Was wondering if hes in the clink too?
    A lot of his content has since been removed pertaining to such

  2. “An investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman is now underway”.
    So we can expect a 2 year long “non-bias” investigation that shows all procedures were followed to the letter and that it definitely was a “non-preventable” suicide then?

  3. Appalling, undemocratic, rat hole. As for calling whatever they have in so called govt now, “Labour” is, in my humble opinion, a joke in poor taste. I imagine Attlee would be horrified, if he could see what they have become.

    Suffice to say, poor man, may he rest in peace. Protesting is NOT a crime.

  4. Starmer is responsible for this
    THE UK economy is crashing along with the rest of Europe
    Things are about to get a lot worse
    Neocons using their proxy Itsalie are going to start a war with Iran before the US Elections
    So that no matter who is elected they are locked into continuing the war
    Who are invariably going to be needed to extract these Khazar AshkeNAZIS from their own devices
    But can America fight a war on four fronts?
    Something has to happen soon
