| A court in Turkey has jailed two Syrians to four years in jail over the death of Alan Kurdi and four others. | |
| Alan was the Syrian three-year-old whose photograph, lying dead on a Greek beach, focused world attention on the refugee crisis in September 2015. | |
| Mufawaka Alabash and Asem Alfrhad were convicted of people smuggling, but acquitted of causing death "through deliberate negligence". | |
| Thousands of refugees and migrants arrive daily in Greece from Turkey. | |

| Why Alan Kurdi's picture cut through | |
| Alabash and Alfrhad were tried in Bodrum, the same Turkish city where Alan's body was washed up. | |
| The pair had faced up to 35 years in prison each. Both pleaded not guilty in February. | |
| Alan's five-year-old brother Galib and his mother Rihan also drowned when the boat they were on sank during an attempted crossing to the Greek island of Kos. | |
| The father, Abdullah, survived. He now lives in Iraq. |
