A Swiss military court has sentenced a former soldier for fighting against the Islamic State group in Syria.
Johan Cosar used his military training to recruit hundreds of men to defend Christian groups from IS.
He was found guilty of undermining Switzerland’s neutrality and security by joining a foreign army – and given a three-month suspended sentence and fined 500 francs (£383; $500).
Cosar made no attempt to hide his actions, and remains proud of them.
