(Lanka-e-News, June 28, 2010, 4.55PM) The Colombo Fort Magistrate Ms. Lanka Jayaratne ordered that Gen. Sarath Fonseka M.P. who is in Army custody should in future be brought to Courts by Army vehicle under special security and not in a Prisons vehicle.
The Lawyers for Gen. Fonseka told Courts today (28) citing reasons that the Prisons vehicle bringing the General to courts ought to be given intensified security by the Army, the security vehicles provided were trailing six vehicles behind the vehicle which brought him. Besides, the glasses of the vehicle transporting him were not tinted, whereby anybody could identify him, meaning that it is a massive threat to his life.
The Magistrate also gave a directive that his wife and others who take food to him should be allowed to supply it to him without any obstruction or impediment. |

The Prisons Dept had arranged to produce Sarath Fonseka today before the Magistrate Court as a suspect in connection with the Hi Corp case filed against him.
On the last occasion, when the case was called up, a request was made by the CID to name Fonseka as a suspect in the Hi Corp transaction and keep him in remand custody. The Magistrate considering the special security requirements necessary in respect of him ordered that he should continue in Army custody. Accordingly, arrangements were made by the Prisons Commissioner to detail two Prisons officers for duty to provide security to the General at the Navy Headquarters where he is detained. |
