The government has not provided any security to Sarath Fonseka following his release from Welikada Prison. Fonseka played a key role in eliminating the LTTE from the country.
A group of retired army personnel supportive of Fonseka are looking at filing a petition before courts to impress upon the government to provide security to Fonseka.
They have met senior lawyers on the 23rd to discuss the matter.
The President had promised MP Tiran Alles that Fonseka would be provided with VIP security, but the government has not responded positively following Fonseka’s release.
The Police Spokesperson said if Fonseka made a request about his security, it would be considered.
A retired army officer supportive of Fonseka said that he could easily be targeted by a sniper from the marsh land adjoining his residence in Thalawatugoda.
