Arrest Of Gen. Fonseka Is Inception Of Military Dictatorship – IFHR

Arresting Gen. Fonseka by the Military Police is an instance of outmaneuveringthe supremacy of the law in the country to give way for military dictatorship states ‘Intellectuals for Human Rights’ (IFHR). A communiqué issued by the IFHR states:

  ‘Intellectuals for Human Rights’ (IFHR) vehemently condemns the arrest of Common Candidate of the Opposition for the presidential election – 2010 by the Military Police.

 Getting a civilian to be arrested by the Military Police is an instance of outmaneuveringthe supremacy of the law in the country to give way for military dictatorship. Also, it is the climax of the sinister move that commenced during the post presidential election period with the hunting down of democratic forces including religious leaders, activists of the opposition, journalists and trade union activists.  

‘Intellectuals for Human Rights’ (IFHR) believes that all those who cherish democracy and freedom should unite forgetting all differences including that of race, religion and politics to defeat the naked dictatorship that cannot be concealed by the so called military discipline, state security or any other ‘shawl.’
