sri-lankaCOLOMBO: A Sri Lankan High Court sentenced former army chief Sarath Fonseka to three years in jail on Friday after finding him guilty of making a false allegation against the president's brother.

Fonseka, who ran against President Mahinda Rajapakse in 2010 elections, is already serving a 30-month prison term after a court martial convicted him of irregularities in military procurements.

The three-judge bench in a two-to-one judgement found Fonseka guilty of violating emergency regulations by "spreading rumours and causing public disorder" in an interview with a weekly newspaper.
