Government and all community in Sri Lanka should consider the concern of the EU. If government continuously neglect the request of the EU will give negative impact on our future generation.

EU as usual will sit there in their comfort and talk about this like they did during the war time.
We all know its a long way for peace in Sri Lanka. It will be miracle if we see SF being released. If the government has their way, they want to shut him up before he open his mouth about war crimes AND this will suit everyone including the EU because they still need the cheap knickers from Sri Lanka to make huge profit..So don't rely on EU or the UN for SF's freedom.1 4

None of this would have happened if the correct election results were released without it being manipulated.

Finally EU concern over its agent in politics.
You have one practical option. Re appoint Ranil as SF's politics are already vanishing..5 2

Only the educated and intelligent will appreciate and understand such messages. Citizens of this new Sri Lanka consist of sychophants, hoodwinkers, free loaders and bogus patriots.

Why as a country SL is where it is now is because we as a nation have failed to protect our true heroes such as Gen SF.... But supporting psychopaths, thugs, hoodwinkers, free loaders and bogus patriots.

Since they are funding our country in various ways i.e. projects, programmes, etc., etc., I personally think they also have even an iota of a right to say this... and to see that their tax payers money is been well spent in our country. Besides what is the harm in promoting peace and prosperity and put aside all differences and work only for the country?

reconciliation should initiate by the govenrnent only. acceptable reconciliation not by threat. U can speak fron EU but no action. MR was a good manbefore came into power. like Premadasa and Candirika. but after got power all are spoiled. Power greedy and theaft to fill their Buckets.

These E.U countries are the people who created the divisions in this country. For nearly 300 years they destroyed the Sinhala / Tami cultures when they invaded Srilanka.l They have no moral right to talk about this country since they were like parasites who robbed the wealth of our country and left us with the muck when they left. Today we are compelled to eat the dirt and fight for survival. Please do no interfere any more in our internal affairs to destabilize this nation and suck the balance resources of this country..

This is purely an internal affair of Sri Lanka, where the due process of an identified law of the country has been set in motion. Why should the EU have reason to be concerned about it and proceed to tender unsolilcited counsel?

Before the court trial how Mr. Gotabayasays that Mr. Fonseka will be jailed for 5 years. It is clearly government takes political revenge.

Arrogant tactics create problems for SL and also for those who are in power. These tactics or jilmarts will not long last.

Before you talk of your concerns you need to finalise the issue of GSP+. We know there are under currents wanting you to get involved. This matter with SF is an internal affair unlike UK going into war in Iraq where EU never said a word about the 600,000 Iraqis who died when there were no WMD's. This is hypocrisy!
If SF has done wrong it is left to the law to take its course.11 4

Ranil & Co pressures the local EU wallah in Colombo and EU will issue any news release.SF is arrested,our opposition runs to India.For anything our opposition runs abroad.
Would it not be easier for Ranil & Co to base themselves abroad?6 5

"Ensure the rule of law and the safety and security of candidates and campaign workers": Asking for feathers from tortoises knowing very well the current attitude of the government towards rule of law and democracy. High time EU realises that we are now a Banana Republic.
