Turkish prosecutors Thursday demanded 35-year jail terms for two alleged people-smugglers blamed for the death of a three-year-old boy whose beached corpse came to symbolize Syria's refugee crisis, local media reported, according to AFP.
The suspects, both Syrians, stand accused of "causing death by deliberate negligence" and "migrant smuggling" after five Syrian refugees including Kurdish toddler Aylan Kurdi died when their boat sank in September while on its way to Greece, state-run Anatolia news agency reported.
