Sudanese refugee who walked length of Channel tunnel faces trial

A Sudanese man who walked through the Channel tunnel from France in an extreme example of the desperate measures refugees are prepared to take to reach Britain is to face trial under an obscure law for obstructing a railway.
Abdul Haroun, from Darfur, walked for close to 12 hours in near total darkness in August, evading high-speed trains and security cameras, before being arrested by British police close to the end of the tunnel at Folkestone.
