Monks ,supporters of the opposition party People's Liberation Front, rest while staging a hunger protest calling for the release of defeated presidential candidate General Sarath Fonseka who remains in military custody in Colombo April 5, 2010. Fonseka was arrested by the military for allegedly engaging in politics against his president while still in uniform one month ago, but is still contesting for a parliament seat. Sri Lankan voters elect a parliament on April 8 for the first time since the government defeated Tamil Tiger separatists' three-decade insurgency last year and ended one of Asia's longest-running civil wars. The sign reads: "Immediately free the general who liberated the country. Mass scale fast." REUTERS/Andrew Caballero-Reynolds (SRI LANKA - Tags: POLITICS ELECTIONS CRIME LAW CIVIL UNREST)
