A former British soldier who went to Syria to fight against Islamic State has been arrested while on holiday in Turkey. 

Joe Robinson is accused of posting pro-Kurdish propaganda on social media.

The Afghan veteran travelled to Syria two years ago and served as a combat medic with a Kurdish militia - the YPG - 
who were fighting IS.

Turkey regards the US-backed YPG as a terrorist organisation.
