Refugees arrive on the island of Lesbos. Photo: DPAThree Syrians went on trial in German on Tuesday, accused of human trafficking after a boat that they allegedly used to smuggle people to Europe capsized and killed 13 people. The case was heard by a court in the southern German state of Bavaria, the residence of one of the three accused men, a 27-year-old from Aleppo. In September 2015, the third man was steering the boat with at least 46 people towards the Greek island Lesbos when it collided with a freighter and capsized, according to prosecutors. Witnesses in the trial include refugees smuggled to Europe.
