An online petition was launched this morning seeking the release of General Sarath Fonseka who is in military custody. Speaking at the launch former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva said Fonseka cannot be tried under the military law.

He said that the military law only applies to discipline and punish serving military officers and not those who have retired from service. (YP)
