Sri Lanka's former military commander says that he is prepared to give evidence in an international court on war crime charges against Sri Lanka.
General Sarath Fonseka speaking to journalists in Colombo on 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 has 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. Any one who has committed war crimes should definitely be brought into courts," Gen. Fonseka said.

"Those who reveal the truth are not traitors" he added.

I respect SF as a hero but what he's trying to do ?

Ponseka is not a war hero, though he was the army commander.
Gotabaya did all the hard work and planed the entire war against Ltte and defeated them.
Ponseka is a UTTER TRAITOR and he is proving this now.
