Sri Lanka's main opposition to continue agitations for former Army commander's release

Sri Lanka's main opposition United National Party (UNP) says it would continue to agitate for the freedom of former Army Commander and democratic National Alliance (DNA) leader Sarath Fonseka.

The UNP has planned countrywide demonstrations on December 10 to coincide with the International Human Rights Day to urge the government to release Fonseka.
UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake told the media that the party has also organized protest rallies in 20 districts in the country to be held next month.

He said the UNP will never give up its agitation campaign to secure Fonseka's release.

Attanayake said the country needed to agitate for the release of the man who had liberated the country from terrorism.
