Fonseka to be given exercising facilities and kept in a suitable cell – HC
The Colombo High Court today rescheduled the ‘White Flag’ case to November 23 as Former Army Chief Sarath Fonseka was not present in court due to his ailment. The lawyers representing Fonseka told court that he had suddenly taken ill as a result of the injuries he sustained after the suicide attack.
The lawyer went on to say that some of the injuries Fonseka sustained to his intestine and lungs in the suicide attack had been aggravated owing to the fact that he had no facilities to exercise. The attorney also stated that after heavy showers the cell where Fonseka was being kept at Welikada had developed a leak causing the cell to be flooded.
The Three judge bench which examined the statement instructed the prison officials to provide facilities for Fonseka to exercise and also to house him in a suitable and a cell that does get wet during rainy days.

Are these decisions and events in any way related to the shocking evidence given by the ex-Wanni Commander?
As a humanitarian even a prisoner on death row need to be treated well as a human being. So it is fair that SF is treated well, even though he paid scant regard for justice when he jailed many soldiers and officers for questioning his moral judgement when he was the army commander.
No way he is just another prisoner, every day he has some thing to complain. Will he give good facilities to Mahinda & Gotabaya as he told he will put them in prison when he is president ? He will go more than 30 months ,at least another 16 years , he is a dangerous man
If he’s out he will bring worst trouble we ever had in this country with JVP. Any way that will never happen as long as Mahinda & Gotabaya is in power.We Sri lankans are lucky to have this two patriotic leaders.
Fonseka thinks he is still in the Cinnamon Lakeside hotel as he was hiding after the election. I think he is amnesiac, he lost his memory. That is why his wife Anoma ( walli amma) dash coconuts with JVP women in Kovil all black mafia gang.
