GREEK authorities have charged an asylum-seeker for endangering his six-year-old son’s life after he drowned when a boat they were using to cross from Turkey capsized.
The Afghan man could face a six-year prison sentence if found guilty in the first such case in the country.
After a dinghy carrying 25 migrants sank off Samos Island on November 8, the 25-year-old made it to shore and sought help. His son’s body was found the next morning.
