The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) fears there are moves to arrest some of the senior party members and had discussed its concerns with the party lawyers, informally today, a party official told Daily Mirror Online.

The discussions focused mostly on what legal action the party could take if the government decided to detain some of the party’s senior members.

“Some government ministers have openly said that senior JVP members could be arrested soon. Considering the government’s behaviour towards General Sarath Fonseka, it would not be surprising if the government decides to detain some of our senior party members,” the party official said on the condition of anonymity.

The official added that if the possibility of the arrests grew stronger, then the party would consider informing the foreign missions in Colombo. “Considering the government’s behavior, we might just inform the international community of our safety,” the party official said.

When one is a part of the conspiracy, you've got to anticipate arrests.........
JVP is no exception.

Friday, 12 February 2010 04:41 PM

Take to the streets and demonstrate until you bring this regime down.

Friday, 12 February 2010 05:13 PM

If Govt. toches any JVP supporters, then its the end of Mahinda Rajapakshe & Gota ... for sure.

Friday, 12 February 2010 05:14 PM

MR is asking for trouble, itseems. Boys in the right time start the game, cannot tolerate further.

Friday, 12 February 2010 05:16 PM

Now Rajapakshe is touching the wrong eye ball. May be coming days are not good for him. Feel sorry man !!!!!!!

Friday, 12 February 2010 05:34 PM

It is the third wipe out for the JVP. First it was Sirimavo, then great Premadasa and finally the greatest of all Mahinda. JVP is reduced to nothing more than a fart. Only sound and stench no impact.

Friday, 12 February 2010 06:20 PM

JVP all you guys should be jailed for the rest of your life.

Saturday, 13 February 2010 01:41 AM

N OW THIS WOULD BE A GOD SEND. THE JVP IS NOTHING BUT A PSEUDO TERRORIST OUTFIT LED BY AN EX TERRORIST

Friday, 12 February 2010 03:15 PM

Only if opposition leaders are put in jail Mahinda can get two thirds majority and can do what he wants

Saturday, 13 February 2010 03:28 AM

Problem is arrest is not happening hot hot, to keep the protest industry busy.

Saturday, 13 February 2010 04:03 AM

Govt , is making desperate decisions at desperate times, I did vote for MR but now regret, This govt dates are numbered.

Saturday, 13 February 2010 04:09 AM

Do it immediately

Saturday, 13 February 2010 04:46 AM

Common Mahinda ! Sameway you crushed LTTE eliminate the other Terrorist group remain in the country - JVP.

Then our country will get 100% freedom.

Saturday, 13 February 2010 04:59 AM

YES!

Saturday, 13 February 2010 06:37 AM

These are JVP's classical election propaganda. They are trying to get sensitive votes.

Saturday, 13 February 2010 09:11 AM

Friday, 12 February 2010 11:35 AM

Rathu Sahodaraya... What happened to the International Plug ?

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:12 AM

JVP seeking International support i.e. western nation's support while Mahinda visiting Lumumba, what a twist of fate?

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:21 AM

Once and still a Beautiful pearl in the Ocean,
A nation bleeding with tears and fear,
What sins have the children of serendib done to be opressed and punished in such a manner.
Since 4 days the Saviour of the Rag Tag army that became a respected force is languishing in custody. Kings lead their armies to war and not hide in the bunkers.

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:21 AM

I doubt this mail will be published as even the DM has no guts!!!! Yet let all of Sri Lankans unite..... this is the start of typycal Idi Amin supression. Watch the BBC video of Gota. He sounds more powerfull than the president. Come DM have guts. Rise up to this national crisis irrespective of party politics. Today Sarath Fonseka, Tomorrow You and me!!!!!

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:21 AM

If this is "IMMINENT", the last nail of the coffin of "DEMOCRACY" too is IMMINENT. International Community will not do anything s India is supporting these acts to the hilt. Since 1948, India has done enough damage to this little country & she will see that this island is never stabilized. Due to the fear of crossing the path of India none of the Western countries will ever say anything against what is going on here under the autocracy of one family. Take my word, Western countries will only provide asylum to anyone who seeks the same.

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:36 AM

Sri Lankans start packing your things and get out of this undemocratic island....... its going to beat some of the countries in africa.....and the general public has to be blamed for this and not the government because we have elected them and given them all the powers on earth to do what ever they think right

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:50 AM

Why is it that Sri Lankans can never live in peace ?

Friday, 12 February 2010 10:53 AM

Most responsible person now in jail. So our future will be bright.

Friday, 12 February 2010 11:05 AM

Poor leaders are rewriting the history in 1980's... No wonder why JVP or LTTE take arms in the history..

Friday, 12 February 2010 11:09 AM

JVP don't remember the taste of Premadasa regime. Mahinda is only going to put them in jail.

Friday, 12 February 2010 11:17 AM

Its funny that the people who criticized International Community, are looking for shelter under them. Anyway, good that they realize that we cannot survive as a country alone.
