Online petition to free Fonseka
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)

The CJ of course. The senile Law Prof has not taken oaths as a lawyer and is therefore not qualified to give legal opinions.

Former CJ is becoming a political joker. He should at least maintain the dignity of the post which he was holding although he was a misfit to hold that respectable position.

He is not a Law professor - he only professes to know the law but actions prove otherwise. Better believe the CJ.

Get your words right, Chris Silva. Mr. Sarath N. Silva, our erstwhile formed Chief Justice says that a military man officially out of uniform CAN NOT be tried through a Court Marshal. There does not appear to be any gimmicks but plain fact.

The government's policy is to 'use' people, for their benefit - once 'used,' they are soon discarded. Remember what happened to Mangala? How did our 'regime' treat him after the 2004 Presidential election?

Why ridicule the ex-C.J.? Consequent to judicial proceeedings, over twenty retired Army personnel have already been released, on grounds that there was no basis for their continued detention. This shows nothing but the government's vindictive approach to this whole fabricated scenario.

In one era, what he thought was the decision even though it was not in compliance with the prevailing low. At least now he should realize that there is no room for such stupid decision presently.

Well said Hon. Sarath Silva. We are all in agreement with you. This is injustice and revenge. The culprits who are behind the illegal detention of General Fonseka should be tried in the court.
