Sri Lanka's former army commander, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka has reapplied for a US Green Card, weeks after reports indicated that his visa application to visit the US was rejected, reports the Sunday Leader.
Mr Fonseka, who is thought to be responsible for heinous mass atrocities, was a Green Card holder until it expired while he was in prison, held by the Rajapaksa regime.
Earlier this month it was reported that an application for a US visa was rejected by the embassy in Colombo due to his involvement in war crimes.
Fonseka denied US visa over war crimes allegations (14 December 2015)
