Fonseka’s statement was aired by the electronic media last evening.A defiant Fonseka said: "The pattern of imprisonment will continue, similar to Ranjan Ramanayake being arrested. There will be hundreds more going to jail. Together, we are prepared to break out from prison to protect democracy and the masses. Once we come out we will provide protection and freedom to the people."He said so while leaving the Colombo High Court after yesterday’s hearing of the ‘white flag case’.The three-member Trial-at-Bar decided to postpone proceedings due to a power failure in the Court complex.When the case was taken up yesterday, the counsel for Fonseka continued to cross examine the Sunday Leader editor Frederica Jansz.During the cross examination, the electricity supply to the Court failed and after a discussion among the judges and the counsel, the Bench decided to postpone the case till November 2.</blockquote>
