Tamil shop owners in London were visited by the LTTE terrorist
activists last week and asked to display huge poster with
Late terrorist leader Anton Balasingams’s photograph
with verses praising him as the voice of the nation.
The
colourful poster is appearing in the shop widows. Some
of the pro-LTTE shops have willingly displayed the poster
whilst others were compelled to paste on the shop window.
One
of the shop owners in East Ham confirmed that he had no
choice other than displaying the poster. He said five
rough looking LTTE fellows came to his shop and demanded
the display, failing which they had said he must face
the consequence. He said he had displayed to avoid facing
the wrath of the LTTE.
When
asked what the LTTE fellows will do if he did not display,
he said: ‘they will break the shop window, harass
our customers and also send people to shoplift’.
‘We
end up paying heavy price if we do not do these types
of little favours to them’ he said. Anton Balasingam’s
memorial posters are appearing all around London.
It
has come to the knowledge that LTTE had celebrated a memorial
event in Walthamstow on 22 December 2007 without giving
any publicity about the event. The function was attended
by a crowed invited personally and said to be about 125
people.
