They have just been sentenced, he may still have his phone in possession while the case was still being determined. Don't know how things run in the military anyway.

I guess the man doesn't really like the soldier job in the first place, considering his post on facebook in recent times. I guess he also has a bad luck. Looking at his facebook posts, he has lost many people in his family on different Thursdays and even himself was sentenced to death for mutiny on a Thursday.

He said in one of his posts that he's proud to be a soldier...and that he loves his family.
