Three Human Traffickers Sentenced to 125 Years In the Death of Aylan Kurdi

But I thought that Chris Alexander was to blame?:

Three human traffickers have been sentenced in a Turkish court to 125 years each in the 2015 drowning of Alan Kurdi, the Syrian toddler whose death became a symbol of the global refugee crisis.

The three-year-old's tiny body was pictured lying face down on the beach of a southern Turkish shoreline. His family was fleeing to Greece in the hopes of eventually joining family in Vancouver when the 15-foot rubber raft carrying them capsized. Alan's five-year-old brother and mother also died.

And the father who put his son in danger or the people who posed the child's body for photographs? What sentences do they get?
