(BBC) Two Iranian men have been jailed for smuggling themselves and 29 people across the Channel on two overcrowded rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIB).
Ghodratallah Donyamali Zadeh, 26, and Ahmed Nayat Quadir, 20, were both sentenced to 24 months imprisonment on Thursday.
They had previously admitted assisting unlawful immigration into the UK.
Their convictions were secured at Canterbury Crown Court with footage from a Border Force drone.
Zadeh smuggled himself and 12 other people across the Channel in the early hours of 13 July, while Quadir smuggled himself and 17 other people, including four children, into the UK on 12 August.
