Fourteen face trial in Channel boat disaster
Fourteen suspected people smugglers are on trial in Paris for their role in the deadliest small boats disaster in the English Channel, where at least 30 migrants drowned due to a deflated and overloaded boat in November 2021. The defendants, mainly Afghan nationals, are accused of manslaughter and facilitating illegal immigration, with two suspects at large and tried in absentia. The incident prompted investigations into rescue failures by French and UK authorities, highlighting issues such as resource shortages and poor weather.
