I am ready to give evidence before any international inquiry even in Geneva against the government -General Fonseka
(Lanka-e-News- 23.April.2014, 4.00PM) Former Army Commander and present Democratic party leader Sarath Fonseka had stated that he is ready to give evidence before the international investigation that is to be conducted against the human rights violations of the Rajapakse regime. He made this comment when he was speaking at a media briefing held in connection with the attacks launched on the opposition MPs at Hambanthota recently.
The recent attack had clearly confirmed 100 % and even more that the charges of human rights violations mounted against the government at Geneva are true. Like how we would come forward on behalf of the soldiers to defend that they did not commit war crimes , so we are prepared to assert that human rights violations are being violated before any international inquiry at Geneva or the international community or any individual at any time and to go to any place and give evidence where the investigations are conducted, Gen. Fonseka announced.
Speaking further , he said , the attack launched at Hambantota is not a matter for surprise . We have witnessed a number of such deplorable attacks during the period of elections , and therefore it was considered at the beginning itself that Hambantota is not a place that was rescued.
If a government politico can escape from his criminal liability by disclaiming a pistol that was truly in his possession as not his and was in another’s hand, of what purpose is a police force which are acting as puppets of the government dancing to its criminal tunes ? he asked. In this situation , he stands by the MPs and roundly condemns the violence , Fonseka asserted.
The Hambantota mayor who made a statement to Lanka e news on the day of the incident that he was armed with a pistol and went to the venue to shoot into the air to disperse the crowd on the instructions of Namal Rajapakse , later on told another media that the pistol was taken from the waist of another individual and was a toy pistol.
Subsequently , the mayor stated this was a pistol that is used to shoot bird. Now , his latest version is , he did not have a pistol at all in his hands.
At another media briefing , Srinath Perera PC who bitterly castigated the conduct of the police media spokesman said, the latter is one of those many macaws which is supposed to have escaped ( earlier announced) from the cage of the President.
