'Every second, every moment we were expecting something bad to happen. Because you're like a small dot in the middle of nowhere with big ferries and cargo ships. We were so scared', says asylum seeker reflecting on his own journey
"The cruel channel killed them," says Ali of those who never made it.
Ali, who is from Iran and crossed the Channel in a small boat last year, knows only too well how dangerous a journey it is. He shakes his head with disbelief when we talk about those who lost their lives in this latest Channel tragedy.But when I ask him if asylum seekers understand how dangerous the crossing is he replies:"Of course they understand but when they don't have any other way it makes them accept the risks of crossing the Channel. They are looking for peace. That's why they take these huge risks.
Ali says he left Iran because his life was in danger and says he risked his life in search of"freedom".What has changed since 31 people died crossing the Channel?
