General Sarath Fonseka speaking to journalists in Colomboon Monday said, “I am not going to save anyone who has committed war crimes”. International human rights organisations as well as the US State Department have alleged that the Sri Lankan government committed war crimes during the final phase of the war against Tamil Tigers. Several human rights organisations have called to try the Sri Lankan state in international courts on alleged abuses against civilians and surrendees. During the presidential election where Gen. Fonseka challenged President Mahinda Rajapaksa, both claimed credit for defeating the LTTE. “I am definitely going to reveal what I know, what I was told and what I heard. Anyone who has committed war crimes should definitely be brought into courts,” Gen. Fonseka said. “Those who reveal the truth are not traitors,” he added.<a href="http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=7131" target="_blank">Source</a></blockquote>
