Sri Lankan police officers detain an opposition protester

Sri Lankan police used batons and water cannons to disperse hundreds of supporters of the losing presidential candidate, Sarath Fonseka, in the second day of protests against his arrest. Sri Lankan police officers detained an opposition protester during a protest in Maharagama, on the outskirts of the capital Colombo, Sri Lanka. 11/02/2010.

Tensions have risen on the island since former army commander Fonseka was arrested on Monday by military police on charges of engaging in politics against his president while still in uniform.
On Wednesday, at least eight people were injured when opposition activists clashed with government supporters outside the island nation's Supreme Court, officials said. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds.
Fonseka and Rajapaksa worked together in ending the 25-year war against Tamil Tiger separatists last year, but fell out soon after. The government said Fonseka had conspired against the president and would face a court-martial.
