Fonseka Begins Fast to Protest Treatment
Sri Lanka’s former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka has started a fast to protest at his “ill treatment”. According to Anoma Fonseka, sri Lanka’s lone 4-star General has started to refuse food and water, as a sign of protest: he is protesting the government’s refusal to comply with a Court order permitting him to communicate with his close family.
Mrs Fonseka, the beleagured wife of the General who is being held in Military Custody, pending a court martial, said that in the past the General was allowed to speak by telephone with his daughters who are both living in the United States. Subsequently the Supreme Court had allowed communications with close relatives. Howver over the past few days the guards in whose custody the General is, have informed Mrs Fonseka that they have orders from the Ministry to withdraw the facility forthwith.

මේ සන්ඩේ ලීඩර් එකේ ඉන්නෙ කිසි කෙලෙහි ගුණයක් නැති පාහර කළවැද්දො. මුන් ටිකදවසකට කලින් මාව මිස්ක්වෝට් කරල දේශපාලන වශයෙන් මාව ඝාතනය කලා. දැන් ලසන්තගෙ මරණෙ අල්ලගෙන.
Because he does not get that symmetrical “Bulls Eye” (Fried Eggs) as he got in his good old days………………….
Hello M.H. Sheriff you look like a SF clone. Dont talk rubbish you rat.
ARMY HAS EXPERIENCE OF fONSEKA MISUSING THE FACILITY WHEN HE WAS THE COMMANDER. THE UNPAID BILL RUNNING INTO MILLIONS STILL NOT SETTLED DESPITE THE 78 MILLION FOUND IN THE LOCKERS. FONSEKA HAS PROVED THAT HE IS NOT A STRAIGHT GUY BY ANY STANDARD. WITH OTHER WEAKNESSES OF RANIL, STILL HE IS NOT A PATCH ON THE UNP LEADER FOR HONESTY. I DON’T HAVE ANY BELIEF IN HIS FASTING, IT IS LIKE KARUNANIDHI’S AND JAYALALITHA’S FASTING. BY THE WAY HIS MUSLIM FRIEND THE ROGUE, MY OWN MUSTAFA AND HIS FRIEND BEARDED JINNAH ADVISED HIM TO FAST? BUT THEY FAST DURING RAMADAN! OR I SEE THIS IS THE TELEPHONE FAST! GOOD, GOOD…………………..I CAN SEE YOU ARE EATING ON THE SLY!
To kingkong
stupid comments by you, in that case corporation & board chairmans in the state sector owe millions to each other
including MR owes millions to rupavahini corporation for his
Election propoganda,
why check SF relations lockers, check all the politicians & their
relations lockers you will find billions comparing to Danunas A/C

Check all the lockers except for Somawansha , Anura KUmara dissanayake and VIjitha Herath’s lockers ! Ha.. Ha …
Utter waste of time ,they dont own lockers
neither they dont have anything to hide.
Hello M.H. Sheriff you look like a SF clone. Dont talk rubbish you rabid JVP sucker.
S.F.Do you need the mobile phone to order the fast food from KFC.
Praba was fasting in India. No one did care.
Dilipan was fasting in Jaffna and India let him DIE……
Mahathma Gandhi was fasting and British DID NOT LET him DIE.
This one show how Dirty is India(Rajiv Gandhi) is……….So LTTE let Rajiv Gandhi to die.
Let is see How the Singheelam(Buddhist Converts) is going to Handle our War Hero Sarath Fonseka’s Fasting? ? ? ?” ? ? ?
Hey asshole, can’t you call yourself by your Peelam name, instead of calling yourself Dilshan?
Mind your language and behave. Even your children must be reading the comments.
@Ariya,
just watch ur language.
It’s good Rajiv was killed by who ever.
rajiv was hit with the gun on the back of his head by a navy and killed by LTTE.
We Sri Lankans(everyone who pay tax to the government of sri lanka irrepective of race or religion) should make sure india dont mess with us. India is responsible for the 27 year old bloody war. we should realize that.
Berger’s are getting filthy grade treatment in Singheelam.
Now how many chaps who are arrested by any goverment in Sri Lanka have the facility to get calls overseas?
What else he need, fundermental right to get hookers?
This is a direct order from GOTA. It’s a known fact that MR & Co will not respect the verdicts of courts.
Who cares?
But, in a country where condemned crooks, murderers and drug dealers from the underworld enjoy the facility of using mobile phones and even ordering burglaries and murders through those very telephones to their catchers in the field, all this with the jail guards turning a blind eye : what on earth is wrong for a war hero to use a mobile phone to call his daughters overseas.
There is a new Judicial Motto in Lanka
You support, You Kill, We acquit.
Can’t agree more, add to this list all the crooked politicians, corrupt military officers who provided LTTE with arms, supplies and inteligence, the likes of whom SF had to boot out of the Army before taking on the LTTE, what about those LTTE leaders (Karuna, Thillaipan) who commited genocide against the sinhalese who are now ministers in MR’s govt do all of the above come after SF’s charges (trumpt up of course), wake up SL!
Mahinda Chinthanaya has even provided oter facilities to Karuna. Temprory replacement for his better half who is living in England. According ti an old Report from SL, they are from Russia and very young too.
What is wrong with providing facilities for Karuna ? He is a great person who helped in terminating killer Pirabaharan’s bloody regime.
For MR cohorts and drunks like Bonapart it may not be a big deal. But for the families of 700+ slaughtered policemen & families of 70+ Gonagala victims ETC. karuna remains as a murderer !
And we all know justice is the last thing one must expect from IDI AMIN. After all this is the same IDI AMIN gave a special pardon to the minister Milroy’s wife who hacked her hubbies mistress to death !! Any comment on that bona ?
3 cheers for Bona for being proud of Hacking people to death & INFIDELITY. Thus fully qualifying him as a supporter of IDI AMIN !
The government should let the man fast unto death. All problems that this idiot is causing will end then. This man is playing games to get attention. If he passes out, give him a drip. I have no symapthy for a man who has absolutely no dignity. The man has no courage to face a court martial. He knows he has committed crimes, so he is trying every which way to avoid a court martial and a civil hearing. Sarath Fonseka, in my opinion is a scum bag, who deserves to be banished to the Boosa prison.
This man is playing games. If he wanted to fast they should have let him fast. That was his choice.
