Mediators in Fonseka’s release had duped all and sundry wholesale – true colors exposed
(Lanka-e-News-23.May.2012, 11.30PM) Following the release of Gen. Fonseka on the 21st , and after his coming out , it was declared that the nature of the freedom granted to Fonseka is not known. Yet Tiran Alles who had discussions on the 20th , told the media , the release granted to Fonseka is only a ‘ release’ , and when he comes out the following day , we will see whether it is a full freedom or not. If full freedom has not been granted , in the future we shall do our utmost to secure his full freedom.
It is significant to note that until that point of time what Alles told was , Fonseka is going to be released unconditionally.
The letter herein is what was sent to the Commissioner of Prisons regarding Fonseka’s release by Kamalini De Silva , the Secretary to the Ministry of Justice on the 21st. In that letter it is mentioned that the prisoner No. 022032 Sarath Chandralal Fonseka who is serving sentences following the verdicts of the civil court in the white flag case and the verdict given by the second military court has been recommended a Presidential pardon . The day on which this recommendation was sent was 15th May. That is the day following the day on which the President for the first time made the revelation to a journalist of the ‘Hindu’ newspaper .
In the letter sent by the Justice Ministry Secretary to the Prisons Commissioner , it is very clearly stated , according to the recommendation , President Rajapakse had given a pardon only pertaining to the remaining days of Fonseka’s prison sentence
When such a pardon is granted applicable only to the remaining days , even a Kindergarten child knows , Fonseka’s civil rights will be denied.
In the circumstances , it is most abundantly clear from this letter that this group who were mediating , and had discussions over sumptuous meals and having parties with the President had been bluffing all and sundry right along , when they uttered the most sordid unscrupulous lie that until 22nd (yesterday) they did not know the quantum of freedom Fonseka is going to be granted.
This group who maliciously or otherwise said more often than not , no conditions are being attached to Fonseka’s release led the entire nation up the garden path . The question now is whether the General also was duped wholesale like the people of the country .
May we recall that LeN reported on 28th Dec.2011 about the new issues plaguing Fonseka in the name of reprieve .’MaRa – Alles the faceless conspiracy exposed’.
Meanwhile former Chief Justice (CJ) Sarath Silva had stated , via the measures taken to release Sarath Fonseka , a well calculated diabolic objective had been achieved by interested parties. Though he is out he still in , under ‘house arrest’ virtually. He will secure the absolute rights and freedom only if the past period of his sentence he has served is included in the pardon. The President when granting the pardon to release Fonseka , he has not done that , he noted. When the release was granted to Fonseka under the Presidential pardon , Fonseka’s period of sentence he had served based on the punishment meted out to him by the secondary military court had not been reckoned . This pardon has been granted without reference to this period , whereby for the next 7 years his civil rights are abolished , the former CJ pointed out.
