General (Retired) Sarath Fonseka has been taken into custody by the Military Police, says Media Centre for National Security (MCNS) Director General Lakshman Hulugalle.
Mr. Hulugalle said that General Fonseka was arrested for discussing with certain sections of the Opposition, conspiring to topple the government and also for creating divisions within the Sri Lanka Army while he was its Commander and also when he was the Chief of Defence Staff.The retired General is to face a Court Marshal where evidence against him will be produced, Mr. Hulugalle told the media.
Earlier in the evening, the BBC carried the following report:
Sri Lanka’s former military commander says that he is prepared to give evidence in an international court on war crime charges against Sri Lanka. General Sarath Fonseka speaking to journalists in Colomboon Monday said, “I am not going to save anyone who has committed war crimes”.International human rights organisations as well as the US State Department have alleged that the Sri Lankan government committed war crimes during the final phase of the war against Tamil Tigers.
Several human rights organisations have called to try the Sri Lankan state in international courts on alleged abuses against civilians and surrendees.During the presidential election where Gen. Fonseka challenged President Mahinda Rajapaksa, both claimed credit for defeating the LTTE.“I am definitely going to reveal what I know, what I was told and what I heard. Anyone who has committed war crimes should definitely be brought into courts,” Gen. Fonseka said.“Those who reveal the truth are not traitors,” he added.
Sri Lanka's defeated opposition presidential candidate Gen Sarath Fonseka was tonight arrested by the military police, a fortnight after
he suffered defeat at the hands of incumbent Mahinda Rajapaksa.
A close aide of the former Army Chief, who is credited with the anihilation of the LTTE, said Fonseka and one of his associate were taken into custody while they were at work in their office in the capital.
He said Fonseka and his media secretary Senaka de Silva were arrested by the military police.
The aide told PTI that Fonseka and de Silva were "told in clear terms to cooperate with the military police".
"I heared one of the officers telling Fonseka that he is being charged for criminal conspiracy," he said.
The arrest comes in the wake of reports that Fonseka could face a military court on charges of conspiring to overthrow the government and plotting to kill Rajapaksa.
Sunday Times newspaper had yesterday said that the Rajapaksa-led government, which alleged soon after the presidential poll verdict that the former military chief had plotted to kill the President, has consulted its top legal counsel on trying Fonseka in a court martial.
Soon after his defeat in the January 26 polls, the Sri Lankan Government had alleged that Gen Fonseka had tried to assassinate Rajapaksa and his family, a charge which was denied by the former army chief.
