Urge French authorities to crack
down on LTTE front organizations
Joining
the string of protest demonstrations against the ruthless
activities of the LTTE in Sri Lanka and its front organizations
operating as 'charities' in the international arena, Sri
Lankans living in France will stage another landmark event
urging a further crackdown on the terrorist organization.
According to organizers of the event, a protest demonstration
will take place in Trocadero, France on Sunday, the 19th
of this month at 3 pm.
The
organizers plan to urge the French authorities to take tangible
measure to curb clandestine LTTE operations in France.
The
LTTE has been listed as a terrorist organization by several
member states of the European Union and other countries
including the USA, Canada and India.
The
organisers of the event, United Sri Lankans in France said
in a media release that the protest also aims to show utmost
condemnation of the ruthless and most barbaric killings
of innocent civilians including women and children by the
LTTE terrorist.
They
accused LTTE for continuous recruitment of children as armed
combatants while holding the Tamil population as hostages
and using them as a human shield against the advancing Government
forces.
Repeating
the accusations by most of the Sri Lankans in European nations
against LTTE for extortion, intimidation and harassment
of innocent Tamil civilians, the Tamil Diaspora said that
cadres of LTTE and members of its various front organizations
and mafia gangs are still engaged in such inhuman activities.
"We
urge you to investigate into the nefarious activities of
LTTE terrorists and take legal action against them enabling
the law abiding French citizens of Sri Lankan origin –
both Tamil and Sinhala – to live and enjoy the democratic
individual freedoms in this liberal nation," the statement
further said.
