Two pilots of deadly overcrowded Channel boats sentenced to prison—Omar Heidari, 2 years for steering a dinghy with 95 people, including some hanging overboard without life jackets; 18-year-old Manas Yuk, 18 months for carrying 81, including 13 children, some also unvested—mark the 10th jailing under UK’s new smuggling crackdown. Drone footage exposed Yuk’s attempt to hide his identity. Authorities stress these sentences send a clear message: flimsy, overloaded vessels endangering lives won’t be tolerated. With over 700 crossings this week alone and recent deaths in the Channel, the peril remains stark despite a year-over-year drop in arrivals.
