‘I’m still a prisoner’ – Fonseka.
Mr Sarath Fonseka says that, even though he has been released from the prison, he is still a prisoner,since he has been deprived of his political rights.

“President has intervened and released me from the prison to show the public that I am a free man.But I have been deprived of my democratic rights. I am still a prisoner in one hand.” he says.
The first court martial has convicted him for engaging in active politics while being in the Army service, and deprived all his military ranks and his pension.
“It is totally a false allegation” says Fonseka.”I have submitted an appeal to the court to prove my innocence”, he says.
The petitioners have expected that,the government will take appropriate action to settle the case, after he has been granted the presidential pardon. But the government has requested the Court of Appeal, to proceed with case.
