Sri Lanka has the largest illegal prisons camp in the world detaining some 8000 political prisoners within them, University Lecturers for Democracy (ULD) member Professor Kumar David said quoting the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ).
Speaking at a press briefing held by the ULD a short while ago, Prof. David said that ex-army commander Sarath Fonseka is the most well known among other political prisoners which include thousands of Tamil youth who are detained without a warrant or any other legal provisions.
