Nadira GUNATILLEKE
The Sri Lankan Government did not violate any law when arresting
General Sarath Fonseka. This has now being proved and endorsed by the
Supreme Court ruling.
Therefore the views expressed by the former Chief Justice is entirely
baseless, Export Development and International Trade Minister and the
Cabinet Spokesman Prof. G. L. Peiris said.
Addressing the weekly Cabinet press briefing at the Government
Information Department Auditorium yesterday Minister Peiris said that
the Government has not violated any International or local law.
"The Army Act is included in the Sri Lankan law and it is a part of
our law. All the countries in the world have similar laws within their
law in order to maintain discipline in the armed forces," he said. |
