IN DISTRESS:A woman weeps as unseen defeated presidential candidate and former army chief Sarath Fonseka talks to families of his security staff ahead of his arrest by the military police on February 8. Fonseka will face a court-martial for allegedly planning to overthrow the government while serving as the army chief. Fonseka said dozens of army personnel, who formed part of his personal staff, have been arbitarily detained under the island's terror laws for supporting him during the bruising presidential campaign that was won by incumbent Mahinda Rajapakse. AFP
