Description
The village of Mirza Virkan in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province buries Arslan Khan, who drowned along with 12 compatriots when a boat carrying dozens of migrants capsized off northwest Africa. Each year, thousands of Pakistanis pay large sums to traffickers to launch risky and illegal journeys to Europe, where they hope to find work and send funds to support families back home. "We sold our property and animals for Arslan's future, but the agent betrayed us -- he sent back our brother's dead body," says Adnan Khan, the brother of Aslan Khan. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
