The Democratic National Alliance (DNA) will file a case in the Colombo
High Court this week, challenging the government’s decision to court
martial former Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka (SF), the JVP
said.
According to media reports, the military will appoint three major
generals, Weerathunga, Jayathilaka and Wijethunga to the Court martial
panel which is likely to be held this week.
Speaking to Daily Mirror Online, JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayaka
said that they opposed the government’s move to court martial the
General and will take the matter to courts. “The DNA will file a case
against the court martial of General Sarath Fonseka. This is wrong as
the bench at a Court Martial hearing should comprise of officers senior
in rank to the one who is being tried and as there is no officer senior
in rank to General Fonseka in Sri Lanka, he cannot be tried under the
Army Act,” he said.
