The Colombo Fort Magistrate today ordered the authorities to ensure General Sarath Fonseka is given special security and brought to Court in a special army vehicle and not the prison bus as was done today.
The lawyer appearing on behalf of General Sarath Fonseka told the Magistrate today that despite an earlier order for special security for Fonseka, the detained General was transported to Court today in a prison bus and not the special army vehicle.
The Magistrate then ordered that in future Fonseka be transported to Court in an army vehicle with tight security. Meanwhile the Magistrate also ordered that the family of General Fonseka be allowed to give him food as opposed to the prison food as he had medical complications.
Fonseka is in army custody over conspiracy charges and allegations of illegal arms dealings during his tenure as Army Commander.
