By Colombo Telegraph \u2013<\/p>\n

The Editor of The Sunday Leader Frederica Jansz has been issued with a death threat in a letter posted to her residential address yesterday.The letter handwritten in Sinhalese mentions the White Flag case and threatens Ms. Jansz for the evidence she had given in the hearings so far.\u00a0A complaint has been lodged with the Mirihana police over the death threat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Frederica Jansz<\/p><\/div>\n

The threatening letter says; \u00a0\u201c<\/strong>Frederica Sandra Carmela\u00a0Jansz, that\u00a0damn prostitute, you are now safeguarding the President. By you giving evidence to put Mr. Fonseka in trouble he had to go to courts 57 times. You have even printed the Presidents manifesto. Can you remember that there was a comparison of countries run by Generals in Head to Head?\u00a0\u00a0Where was Rakmish\u00a0Wijeywardene,\u00a0photographer Thusither Kumar, they have disappeared at the beginning of the case. Lal Wickremesinghe too was dropped half way. Finally you (tho- in Sinhala) appeared on behalf of five people. You gave false evidence to get promotions. Your genitals were touched nicely by Lasantha Wickrematuge. Now Secretary Defence Gotabaya Rajapaksa is coming to see\u00a0you?\u00a0\u00a0That bugger also is having sex with that whore. Bloody whore on the 18th<\/sup>\u00a0of November whichever way the judgment is given you will not be spared. Do you know that? 1 SR means what? We are the Sinha regiment who took the brunt of the war on our shoulders. Because of our Leader\u2019s instructions we didn\u2019t get killed during the war. We suffered for what?\u00a0For this country.\u00a0The Leader who fought so well was brought to the\u00a0Military Court\u00a0by\u00a0a\u00a0bloody bitch like you. He slept in the jungles amidst mosquitoes and\u00a0snakes,\u00a0with us. In addition to having suffered during the war he is now jailed and tortured.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not spare you. (underlined) If you want to escape you go to Temple trees and sleep where the President sleeps. There is nothing else to do.\u00a0Even if Mr. Fonseka comes out or not we will continue our fight.\u00a0We have enough weapons which we got from the war. It\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be long before the people of this country would join us. Will the people give power to the President and his family to rule forever?\u00a0Let\u2019s\u00a0see.\u00a0\u00a0The win in\u00a0Colombo\u00a0is like a victory over the entire country. If the main town was won, what more is there to speak?\u00a0\u00a0This time also the full might of the Rajapaksas, of the State, and all the Ministers came to\u00a0Colombo. In how many staggered times did they hold elections? Why was that done? Because\u00a0its\u00a0easy to use State power then. If elections were held in one go State power cannot be used. Anyway the government is falling little by little now. There is turmoil within. When more positions are given to the family the balance will also be destroyed. Someday Chief Justice Sarath N Silva, Fonseka, Wijeydasa Rajapaksa,,\u00a0Tiran Alles, Mangala Samaraweera and Anura Kumara Dissanayake will have to take over this country. Then those SLFP people will join them. The UNP will be destitute. Those who are from the underworld, dealing in drugs, into taking bribes, making money by suppressing the people must be vanquished first. That is the day the country will turn right.\u00a0\u00a0We heard that you too have a brothel.\u00a0\u00a0You cannot do this everyday.\u00a0\u00a0A change will come soon.\u00a0\u00a0You be careful. Our Sinha regiment boys are very angry now.\u00a0\u00a0Your genitals must be smashed.\u00a0\u00a0Bloody whore \u2026 because you gave false evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
