Anas Al Mustafa jailed for 10 years after being found guilty of smuggling seven migrants.

He hid them in a compartment of a specially adapted van on a cross-Channel ferry.

The migrants were heard screaming for help as they struggled to breathe in the van.

They were eventually freed when a crew member used an axe to break down a fake partition.
