Tigers of Tamil Eelam). The Tamil People who had been enjoying all the democratic and human rights in those areas have now been deprived of many of their basic rights and hardly one day passes without at least one person getting killed in these areas. The terrorist outfit is continuing its terror campaign freely by eliminating their opponents including Tamils with the intension of carving out a separate fascist state. Read more………

"Liberate the Tamils from the L.T.T.E," - Sangaree appeals to EU leaders. - In an impassion plea to the leaders of the European Union, V. Anandasangaree, Leader of the Tamil United Liberation Front has requested them to save the Tamils from the control of the Fascist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. While lambasting the LTTE for all the killings, TULF leader has categorically told the EU leaders “The modern democracies can't be polluted by fascist elements,” he also pointed out, “the only option the E.U. has, is to proscribe the L.T.T.E. in the EU.” He appealed to the EU leaders, “This is the most opportune time for the International Community to liberate the Tamils from the L.T.T.E.” Recently, Ananandasangaree wrote letters to all the heads of the diplomatic mission of the EU countries in Colombo, bringing to their notice that LTTE is remote-controlling from Vanni for a protest march on 24 October in Brussels against the EU countries and its leaders for imposing travel ban on 26 September against them. In the Letter he emphasized, that LTTE is holding Sri Lanka to ransom and now it is trying to extend its terror and intimidation to the EU Countries and very soon to the entire world. “In response to the call of the L.T.T.E., a number of people are preparing to participate in the proposed rally from Europe, U.K, and Scandinavian countries,” the septuagenarian Tamil leader brought to the attention. “Most of the ‘would be participants’ are either citizens or permanent residents of the countries where they reside and are enjoying all benefits including the education of their children. Most of them have sponsored and got down their parents and close relatives too. These are the people who finance the LTTE for all their activities including the training of children for war,” Sanagaree’s letter described. The TULF leader was of the opinion that the sanctions so far imposed on the LTTE was very mild. “It you take into consideration the numerous violations of the Ceasefire Agreement by the L.T.T.E and their denial of basic human rights to the Tamil People, forcibly kept by them under their subjugation, for many years, the sanctions imposed so far by the EU is very mild.” Anandasangaree underlined that it was the provisions in the C.F.A., which enabled them to enter into the areas under the control of the Government. “Although their entry into these areas was limited to only 50 and 100 during the first two months, but from the 3rd month onwards they came into Government areas in very large numbers and today they are controlling almost all such areas - the North in particular,” he said. The TULF leader revealed that the people who had been enjoying all the rights in those areas have now been deprived of many of their basic rights. Hardly one day passes without at least one person getting killed in these areas. He further added, “Politically motivated killings, arbitrary arrests, harassments, abductions, detentions, torture, extortions, intimidations, disappearances and conscriptions are some of the many fundamental right violations of the L.T.T.E, still going on unabated.” (full report in Asian Tribune).

Karuna appeals EU to proscribe LTTE - Karuna aka V. Muralitharan, the breakaway LTTE eastern commander has appealed to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who heads the European Union, to take strong and firm action to proscribe the LTTE in the European Union member countries. In an interview with the Asian Tribune, Karuna said "We fully endorse the travel ban imposed by the European Union against the Vanni Tigers - a decision which was long overdue by the international community. They should have taken it when the Denmark Government clamored for the ban after the visit of V. Balakumar to Denmark and spoke about the suicide squads in the country and propagated threats and terror in the midst of peace loving people of Denmark." He had also said that the EU has to come up with a list of designated terrorists as adopted by United States of America and United Kingdom, which includes LTTE. "It is very disappointing and agonizing to note that EU initially failed to include the LTTE in the list of terrorist organizations under Norwegian pressure. I trust that EU will not succumb to further pressures from Norway in the future," he said. Karuna also urged the UN International Criminal Court to declare Prabhakaran as an international terrorist and a criminal responsible for the killings of thousands of unarmed human beings. "It is time that Prabhakaran was indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity. I trust that India would initiate action against Prabhakaran with the ICC, as he is also a proclaimed offender wanted by the Indian courts for the brutal killing of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi," he said (full report in Island).
