A massive protest was organized by the JVP was held in Colombo on 16th demanding the government to release General Sarath Fonseka who was abducted (illegally arrested) and is being detained without any charges at Nevy Headquarters.JVP Leader Somanwansha Amarasinghe,Anura Dissanayake and Lal Kanthe addressed the massive protest.This was the only rally (so far held) which was not attacked by either police or government thugs(may be regarding the massive number of protesters!)

Also their had being a Sathyagra in Kotte for the second day organized by UNP Kotte (New)Organizer Shiral Lakthilake.Wife of General Sarath Fonseka (Anoma Fonseka) too participated. She said that General Fonseka is not kept in a Luxurious place as some says and also said that the windows of the flat in which General is detained is closed by planks.She also said that if they hope that they can mentally depress and weaken her husband,they are sadly mistaken.

General Sarath Fonseka's Abduction by Military Police and the Protest against it

According to many sources it is a abduction.He was the main opposition candidate who was said to have won the Presidential Election 2010 in Sri Lanka but some Ruling Party members had altered the results it seems, in order for their ruling party candidate to further be in power.This has become thrue with the abduction of General Sarath Fonseka.

This is against both common law and military law acoording to well known lawyers in Sri Lanka.Also the funny side is that,if he is taken due to military law he should be kept at some Army building but now he is abducted and kept in a Nevy building.So this is thruly done in order to restrict General S F from signing the election pettion to be filed and to keep him away from contesting the upcoming General Election.

The most respected Mallwatte thero and Asgiri thero condemed the incident and criticized the responsible people for the abduction.

Also the massive protest against the abduction of General Sarath Fonseka was attacked by thugs of government infront of the police(they were protecting the thugs).When the protesters some how managed to chase away the around 30 -50 thugs who came,the police started to chase the protesters in which the police were unsuccessfull as the protesters did not leave the place.

Also their had being protests in all over the country and protests held in Ampara, Kaluthara , Galle,Matara and some other places had being attacked with tear gas by police(is this the so called democracy?).

Following pictures shows the protest against the abduction of General Sarath Fonseka (Second picture shows Anoma Fonseka[Wife of General SF] speaking to media personels. Somawansha Amarasinghe[Leader of JVP] , Kabir Hasheem(UNP), Thissa Attanayake(UNP), Ravi Karunanayake (UNP) and Dayasiri Jayasekara are also in the picture)

Following pictures shows how thugs attacked and how police protected them from protesters.

So is this the begining for another period of bloodshed like in 1971 and 1988?Will wait and see.
