Aweful Alan Kurdi death: Turkey jails Syrians over migrant drowning

Two Syrians have been jailed by a court in Turkey on the departure of Alan Kurdi and four others to four years in jail.

Alan was the Syrian three-year old whose picture, lying dead on a shore that is Turkish, focused world attention on the refugee crisis in September.

Tens of thousands of migrants and refugees arrive from Turkey in Greece.

Alabash and Alfrhad were attempted the same Turkish city, in Bodrum.

Alan’s five-year old brother Galib and his mom Rihan also drowned when the boat sank to the Greek island of Kos during an attempted crossing.

In the most recent attempts to attack the disaster that is migrant, European Council President Donald Tusk is expected to hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Mr Tusk has raised the concept of “sending back” migrants who arrive in the Greek isles from Turkey.
