Video Allegedly Shows Staged Refugee Drowning

One of the great tragedies that often befall refugees happens while they are making their journey to what they hope to be their new home, or at least temporary sanctuary. Those making the trek on land can suffer violence at the hand of criminals as well as starvation or other calamities.

Those who try to make their journey via the sea faces those perils as well as the possibility of drowning. In fact, thousands tragically do drown each year in such attempts.
