Sri Lanka's former Army Commandeers and DNA Leader retired General Sarath Fonseka's wife, Anoma Fonseka said that in addition to the agitation campaigns, legal action would also be taken against the court martial verdict that imprisoned her husband for 30 months.

Fonseka's lawyers are currently in the process of preparing a writ application to be filed before the Appeal Court against the verdict of the second court martial.

Anoma told the media today that she has permission to visit Fonseka only once a month unless a special request is made.

She visited Fonseka in prison Friday along with DNA parliamentarians after he was transferred to Welikada Prison from the Nay headquarters on Thursday (Sept 30) night.

Members of parliament and Fonseka's lawyers are to have regular visits to the prison to meet him.
