A Royal Navy medic found guilty of disobeying a legal order by refusing to attend rifle training because of his "moral objection" to bearing arms and the war in Afghanistan has lost his appeal against his conviction. Three judges at the Court of Appeal in London ruled against the challenge by Michael Lyons, who is serving seven months' detention at a military correction facility in Colchester, Essex.
