It's kind of a pointless statement though isn't it? Yes it would be better if he was put on trial but he is/was held up in an ISIS stronghold in Syria. It would have required a pretty substantial military operation to get him out of there. Remember that we're dealing with effectively a standing army here rather than just one group that special forces could deal with. It wouldn't have been possible to get him into court.
So with that in mind how are we meant to read Corbyn's statement? At best it's a bit of ideological grandstanding or at worst it's a implicit criticism of the way the Government handled the issue.
