British police on Monday charged two men after 20 people, most of them migrants, were rescued from the English Channel when their inflatable boat began to take on water, AFP reports.
Two children and a woman were among the group of 18 Albanians and two Britons aboard the rigid-hulled inflatable boat, which got into trouble off the Kent coast, south-east England, late Saturday.
An Interior Ministry spokesman said that two British men, aged 33 and 35, had been charged with immigration offences and were due to appear in court.
