Appeals court upholds Bowe Bergdahl's military conviction

In the U.S., an appeals court ruled that a federal judge could not overturn Bowe Bergdahl's military conviction for desertion. Bergdahl, who left his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by the Taliban, had claimed his punishment violated his due-process rights. The court emphasized that only military tribunals can vacate such judgments, dismissing his claims.
