Finnish-English translations for sotavanki

  Hamas claims it is a legal actor observing the Geneva Conventions and therefore he is a prisoner of war, but Israel, in my view rightly, regards him as an abductee from the moment he was seized. Hamas väittää olevansa laillinen toimija, joka noudattaa Geneven yleissopimuksia, mikä tarkoittaa, että Shalit olisi sotavanki, mutta Israel pitää häntä sieppauksen uhrina.

• POW
  After his capture he was taken to a camp for POWs.
