"Let General Sarath Fonseka live in Dignity: says Rosy Senanayake


"Even if General Sarath Fonseka had made mistakes we owe to him as a nation so that he could live in dignity and that he could live with his basic rights," said Rosy Senanayake, UNP member of Parliament joining in an exclusive interview with Boston Lanka News.


Ms. Senanayake is in Los Angeles to participate in a series of demonstrations organized by the Sri Lankan expatriate community in California to demand the release of Former army commander General Sarath Fonseka.

In responding to a questions posed by Boston Lanka News about the way the Sri Lankan government is treating a war hero, Ms. Senanayake said, "I do not think the people in Sri Lanka do accept the fact that General Sarath Fonseka is kept as a prisoner and in the way he was treated and the vast majority of people do believe that this is politically motivated and for that reason alone that he is being basically harassed."
