Four sentenced to life for 2015 migrant truck deaths
By EUobserver
Four human traffickers responsible for the deaths of 71 migrants in a truck abandoned on an Austrian highway in 2015 were jailed for life, AFP reported on Thursday. Prosecutors argued that the initial 25-year jail terms delivered last June were too lenient. The Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan victims were among the hundreds of thousands of desperate people fleeing war and poverty during the migrant crisis.
