Judges lenient on aid worker who ‘wanted to help refugee’
BRITISH aid worker Rob Lawrie who attempted to smuggle an Afghan child out of the Calais refugee camp was granted clemency by a French judge yesterday.
The former soldier avoided jail for up to five years after attempting to reunite four-year-old Bahar Ahmadi with her relatives in Britain.
He was given a suspended fine of €1,000 (£750) for “endangering” the life of the child.
