    raja Wednesday, 30 June 2010 05:57 AM

    My thoughts exactly. What about those Army officers who allegedly abused and hit Sarath Fonseka while dragging him away?

    Who knows what will happen tomorrow?

    Deva Tuesday, 29 June 2010 09:15 PM

    Opposition supporters seem to end-up in jail! Different kinds of excuses are given, each time.

    musa Tuesday, 29 June 2010 03:34 PM

    sure same thing would happen after 10 -15 yrs

    citizen1 Tuesday, 29 June 2010 12:27 PM

    Are they going to arrest her for conspiracy next?
    ( Now that her security detail has been taken care of)

    Rattapakse Tuesday, 29 June 2010 03:23 PM

    Don.t worry. When constitution is chagned by Mahinda for a third term them Madam will stand for third term as well and release you on becoming the president.

    rala Tuesday, 29 June 2010 02:55 PM

    CBK too should be sent to the same prison

    saman Tuesday, 29 June 2010 02:48 PM

    u mean in 2001 he threaten and then verdict was give in 2010 . I think even the judge and court system should feel ashamed !
    Is SSP still alive ?

    Elaris Tuesday, 29 June 2010 02:12 PM

    Good lesson for the public officers who abuse the powers of political authority to harrass the innocent

    Lankikaya Tuesday, 29 June 2010 01:54 PM

    This is the punishment for only a THREAT. What is the punishment for actual deeds by this Government?

    I Hussein Tuesday, 29 June 2010 12:56 PM

    He also must have thought that CBK will be in power forever so he can rampage like the way some assume at present.

    Renu Tuesday, 29 June 2010 12:56 PM

    That's a bit over the top is in it? who is going to pay that bill then I hope it is not the tax payers and the Preethi Pdman Srasen can pick it up. I know Judges need to be away from personal biasness

    Rohan Tuesday, 29 June 2010 12:32 PM

    wow.......the uniformed thug gets the work,let this be a lesson for the rest to come...........equal justice for all.

    Wasantha Tuesday, 29 June 2010 12:27 PM

    Another occassion that proved evrything in this world is temporary. Nothing is permanent.This is a good lesson for those who are abusing powers to take revenge from opponenets.
