Arrest of Sri Lankan opposition leader escalates post-election repression
[ Amnesty International ] - [ Feb 09, 2010 2:20:34 GMT ]
The arrest of retired General Sarath Fonseka, Sri Lanka’s former Chief of Army Staff and opposition political candidate in Sri Lanka’s recently held Presidential Election, escalates post-election repression, Amnesty International said today. "Sarath Fonseka's arrest continues the Rajapaksa government's post election crackdown on political opposition,” said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International’s Asia-Pacific Director. “After the military defeat of the LTTE and a major election victory, President Rajapaksa should steer the country toward a better human rights record. Instead, we're seeing less and less tolerance for criticism.” [ full story ]

DESPERATE OUTLAW, THE INTERNATIONAL
WAR CRIMINAL-GOTABHAYA RAJAPAKSA:
The Defense committee rigidly
spearheaded by Gothabhaya Rajapaksa,
has pledged the miltary loyalists in
the army to arrest Sarath Fonseka in
order to dictate his POWER thorughout
the island. The timing of Mahinda
Rajapaksa's visit with his team to
RUSSIA and sending two-men team to
meet the officials at the United
Nations in Geneva, Switzerland is part
of the pre-planned strategy to
Despotic-Totalitarian-rule in the
island. Gothabhya Rajapaksa is fully
aware that he is GUILTY OF KILLING
more than 30,000 IDPs and surrounded
men & family to the Army. Let the
WORLD-AT-LARGE bring this ICJ to
JUSTICE.
