Brigadier Duminda Keppetiwalana former aide of General Fonseka who was arrested with four other Army high rankers for allegedly conspiring to over throw the government was granted bail by the Colombo Chief Magistrate today. The Magistrate ordered the suspect to appear before the Terrorist Investigation Division every Sunday morning. The passport of the suspect was impounded.

Major General Upali Edirisinghe, Major General Sunil Silva, Brigadier Duminda Keppetiwalana, Captain Senaka Silva and Ruwan Abeykoon were arrested by the TID just after the conclusion of the Presidential Election in January, for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the government. Investigations are being conducted after they were detained by the TID Under Section 21 (b) of the Emergency Regulations.

we altogether should eliminate the high cost of living for people.push hard and raise the voice and gather to press on this gov to look after the poor not to have this greediness for the power. where are the things they talk about during election. Now planning to buy cars for these idiots in PM. what a shame.

If someone is to be arrested, there should be evidence against them. Everyone is innocent until they are proven guilty. That is the Law of every decent country.

Mind you, it is too early to come to a conclusion. He was only granted bail but not acquitted. Even murder suspects get bails before they are punished after hearing before the court of law.

Out of the many taken in, not one has been found guilty! Fonseka's cases too will take the same course.

This is legal harassment, Most banana republics do this kind of things.

Pissu Pusa! The Courts don't have to be told what to do by the President. Courts must impartially administer the Law.

Everyone talks about Gen SF, but the national media are silent about the recent series of killings and kidnappings in Jaffna and Vavuniya. Why?

Friday, 30 April 2010 11:57 AM

Very soon people will be arrested for thinking about SF

Friday, 30 April 2010 11:53 AM

Friday, 30 April 2010 11:18 AM

It's very unfare that judgement made, when MR is out of the country.
This judiciary system has no honer to the president.
