Two people are going to prison over the death of Aylan Kurdi
A Turkish court has sentenced two Syrians to four years in prison over the death of three-year-old refugee Aylan Kurdi, AzVision.az reports citing state media.
Muwafaka Alabash and Asem Alfrhad were convicted of human trafficking but acquitted of the charge of causing the deaths through deliberate negligence.

They were put on trial charged with causing the deaths of five people, including Aylan, whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey last year.

Aylan was travelling with his father, mother and brother from Bodrum in Turkey to the Greek island of Kos when their boat capsized.

Images of the small boy lying face down on the beach galvanised a huge reaction to the refugee crisis.
