SF Court martial next week

Thursday, 11 March 2010 15:35

General Sarath Fonseka is to be produced before a court martial next week over seven charges including for engaging in politics while serving in the army and violating army regulations when procuring weapons, the military said.

Military Spokesperson Major General Prasad Samarasingha told reporters a short while ago that the court martial will be held on March 16 and 17 at the naval headquarters before a panel of three major generals. (SD)

Traitors must be PUNISHED

-24+95 # Guest 2010-03-11 18:38

What about KP, Pillayan and Karuna? Are they patriots?
The man who did a key role in defeating the LTTE has now become a traitor. What a world.

I agree Jehan 100%. He must face the trial for torture especially.

-12+34 # Guest 2010-03-11 19:11

-13+37 # Guest 2010-03-11 20:06

-11+28 # Guest 2010-03-11 20:30

who is the traitor???

-0+1 # Guest 2010-03-12 20:46

The one in the picture. Who else?

-5+13 # Guest 2010-03-12 00:56

And who determines this classification of 'traitor' and 'patriot'? I feel to see how it's anything other than vulnerability to petty propaganda that mobilises people to love one man, on one day, and loathe him the next. I wonder when Sri Lankans will look at themselves, in the mirror, and come to realise how fickle and short-sighted we've been.

How can a General court martial by Major Generals? Why not court martial the Major General who abducted General first? "Court martial not today tomorrow"

-5+12 # Guest 2010-03-11 17:33

Why stop there? Why not also say "And then we will put him in jail" as everyone knows what the outcome of this bogus court-martial will be?

-6+21 # Guest 2010-03-11 17:36

Verdict was given first...then arrested ...next fabricated the charges.. now Court Martial... just to implement the Verdict !.

Everybody has his own interpretation of the word "traitor". In Sri Lanka, it is generally "interpreted" as "one who speaks the truth."

-5+25 # Guest 2010-03-12 02:29

Mother Lanka has really become 'the teardrop in the Indian Ocean' with irreligious governance - the worst we have seen in our lifetime.

-5+14 # Guest 2010-03-12 02:46

Sounds like Sadam's trail - in a hurry to finish! Should have brought him in front of the law. while he was in uniform ...
