Two men have been jailed under the new offence of endangering others during a journey at sea. The two small-boat pilots are the first to be sentenced under the new law, which came into force in January as part of government efforts to counter small boat crossings. Mohammad Tajik, a 32-year-old Afghan national, and Alnour Ali, 26, from Sudan, were jailed at Canterbury crown court for two years and 27 months respectively.
