法国巴黎法院判处六名男子因2021年11月24日英吉利海峡小船沉没事件被判过失杀人罪，刑期为6至10年12。这场灾难造成至少27人死亡1，另有报道称死亡人数达31人2，是英吉利海峡历史上最严重的小船事故。被告人员使用了质量低劣、未经认证、超载且缺乏正确救生衣的充气船只，导致这一悲剧发生2。
此次事件中仅有2人生存12。遇难者主要为伊拉克库尔德人，另包括来自阿富汗、埃及和伊朗的移民2，其中包括一名7岁的儿童2。救援人员从第一次求救到发现沉船用时约12小时1。
除被判过失杀人罪的六人外，另有七人因走私罪被判较轻刑罚，刑期从6个月缓刑至4年不等12。这两个犯罪网络分别由伊拉克库尔德人和阿富汗人组成2。其中伊拉克库尔德网络的主要人物哈雷姆·艾哈迈德·阿巴瓦克被判8年有期徒刑2，阿富汗网络负责人欧拜杜拉·马鲁夫赫尔被判10年，缺席审判2。
此外，法国当局仍在调查7名法国军警涉嫌未能及时救助移民的相关责任2，调查决定将在未来数月做出2。
A Paris court has handed down sentences of six to ten years imprisonment to six men convicted of manslaughter in connection with a catastrophic boat sinking in the English Channel on November 24, 2021.12 The incident resulted in the deaths of at least 27 people,1 with another source reporting 31 fatalities,2 making it the deadliest small boat crossing disaster in the Channel's history. Only two people survived the tragedy.2 Seven additional defendants received lesser sentences ranging from six months to four years for human trafficking offences,12 while one person was acquitted.2
The court determined that the defendants operated defective, overcrowded inflatable boats that lacked proper safety equipment and were unfit for sea travel.2 The victims came predominantly from Iraqi Kurdish communities, alongside nationals from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Somalia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia.1 Among the deceased was a seven-year-old girl.12 The rescue operation lasted approximately twelve hours from the initial distress call until French fishing vessels discovered the vessel.1 Investigators have identified two criminal networks involved in organizing the crossing: an Iraqi Kurdish network led by a figure known as Bashdar, currently detained in Iraq,2 and an Afghan network headed by Obaidullah Maroofkhel, sentenced in absentia to ten years.2 One survivor, Issa Omar, later reflected on the tragedy, stating: "Since the boat sank, I feel like a part of me has disappeared beneath the waves."2 French authorities continue investigating seven military personnel for their alleged failure to provide assistance to migrants, with a decision expected within coming months.2
