HELSINKI Fernandinho Brazil Jersey , March 18 (Xinhua) -- An Iraqi man was given by a Finnish court a one-year-and-four-month suspended prison sentence on Friday for publishing on the internet photos of the head of a killed soldier.
The sentence was given by a local court in Tampere, central southern Finland. The court regarded the publication done in 2015 as a war crime.
The now 29-year-old accused used to be in a semi military group associated with the Iraqi governmental forces fighting against the ISIS. The dead enemy soldier could be identified in the picture and his name was given.
Prosecutor Juha-Mikko Hamalainen told local media the deeds of the man were not "among the worst", but the trial had a character of setting a precedent.
"This case and an upcoming one create a judicial practise," he said.
The defendant argued the publication of a photo on the internet reflected the cultural background of the accused.
"That man had killed others before he exploded himself. This picture was then published as a remembrance of the victims," the defendant said.
The Iraqi man admitted the publication but said the intention was not to dishonor the deceased enemy soldier.
