Swiss ex-sergeant convicted for leading Christian militia in Syria

ZURICH (Reuters) - A former Swiss soldier who commanded a Christian militia fighting Islamic State in Syria was found guilty on Friday of violating Swiss neutrality.
Hanna Johannes Cosar’s case was a rare example of European countries prosecuting citizens for fighting against, rather than with, jihadist forces in Iraq and Syria.
Cosar was fined 500 Swiss francs ($499), a relatively lenient punishment, after being convicted by a Swiss military tribunal.
