Siva charged today that Sri Lanka had  become an undemocratic country by betraying all its human rights  principles which it had signed with the international community over the  years.        Speaking to journalists a short while ago, Silva stressed that by  arresting Sarath Fonseka the government had gone against the Universal  Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant of Civil and  Political Rights (ICCPR).            He further maintained that the Army Act did not apply on Fonseka as  Army Commanders were not commissioned officers or enlisted soldiers and  if there were any complaints against Fonseka, then the government should  try him under the civil law.            “If Fonseka had committed some offence, he should have been arrested  under the civil law,” Silva said.    Silva further said that according to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS)  Act, when the Commander of any force relinquishes his position to assume  the post of CDS, he shall cease to continue as a member of the regular  force to which he belongs.<img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/images/_MG_1365-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.dailymirror.lk/images/_MG_1344-2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/2388-former-cj-calls-lanka-undemocratic.html" target="_blank">DM</a></blockquote>
