Judge Advocate to summarize the second military tribunal against Sri Lanka's ex-Army Commander

The Judge Advocate of the second court martial against former Sri Lanka Army Commander General (retd.) Sarath Fonseka will present the summary of the tribunal when it convenes today (17) at 11:00 a.m.

When the court martial, probing charges of irregularities in military procurements during General Fonseka's tenure as Army Chief, convened Thursday, the defence has closed the case and made the final address to the Court without calling up any more witnesses.

Following the defence closing, the prosecution has also summed up its case to the Court.

The first court martial concluded on August 13 found Fonseka guilty of engaging in political work while in active service.
