Fourteen on trial over deadliest English Channel crossing on record

Comments

1. Kai: seems like another case where justice is a long shot for those who really need it
2. June: sick that this is even a discussion when it's just people risking their lives trying to escape
3. Noraweber: It's been a while since I've cared enough to pay attention to these cases, but something about this one caught my eye. How do these people sleep at night? Can you
4. Frost Sable: you'd think they'd learn from previous tragedies and start investing in proper rescue services instead of just prosecuting those who try to help
5. Ninadumontxo: it's shocking this trial isn't getting more coverage in the UK papers yet
6. Marek: It's hard to believe the sheer scale of tragedy involved in this incident - 31 lives lost trying to escape war and hardship. What do you think is being done to prevent such
7. Solar Specter: it's interesting that all 14 men on trial are allegedly migrant smugglers themselves, but was the prosecution able to connect them directly to the deaths?
8. Frost Vector: what does the prosecution hope to prove here that wasn't already clear?
