Ranjith Soysa - MELBOURNE
While
the Sri Lankan forces are closing on the LTTE chief in Vanni,
the saviours and financiers of the LTTE in Australia exhorted
the followers through their websites in Brisbane and Sydney
to join in their demonstrations in Canberra.
Just
as much as the Tiger bosses are now living in the protection
of human shields of civilians, their child soldiers are
building mud walls and facing the firepower of the Army.
Borrowing a leaf from Prabahkaranization, the Australian
saviours and financiers have openly invited the school children
to join the activists and register their protest in Canberra..
In the demonstration held on 13th Oct by highly agitated
"Tamil organizations " in ACT, the presence of
children should receive the attention of the concerned authorities.
LTTE
supporters and their fronts gleefully used children and
the young in their protests and demonstrations in Canada,
France, the UK and Norway exhibiting their keenness to exploit
feelings of the Westerners. This factor was emphasized by
Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister after observing the crowd gathered
to protest when the Minister delivered an eloquent speech
at the Press Club.ACT..
Ironically,
the anti-Sri Lanka demonstration of the LTTE fronts required
a respectable theme and they chose to protest about the
freedom of the journalists. A factor forgotten by them was
Prabhakaran and his company were the last to be trusted
with the word freedom let alone the rights of the journalists.
Therefore, from the day one, the campaign of the LTTE fronts'
cry freedom was a fraudulent act. It was literally a fig
leaf enabling the discriminating Australians to see through
their dishonesty.
To
add insult to injury, the organizers of demonstration against
Sri Lanka requested school children in Australia to join
them . In many of the pro-LTTE propaganda campaigns, unfortunately,
children of Sri Lankan Tamil origin are used by the activists
without any concern for their mental well-being etc. One
can also see these children and youth at various LTTE led
meetings, seminars expressing concern about the "atrocities"
committed in Sri Lanka and July 83 stories whereas most
of them have never visited Sri Lanka. Following the example
of Prabhakaran snatching children from their parents to
make them child soldiers in the war front, the Diaspora
activists cajole and brain- wash innocent Aussie born children
to wage a mental war against Sri Lanka. For the activists,
the end product is of no value as they want numbers to help
protect the fleeing Tigers by appealing to the unsuspecting
Westerners.
The
demonstrations, discussions, seminars in the Western countries
spread myths and fabrications justifying the LTTE's terrorism.
Use of children to win the sympathy with sob stories cannot
save the LTTE any longer.
Sri
Lankan Tamil activists in the Western countries who are
on a last ditch attempt to save the LTTE , should at least
spare the children born and living overseas without brainwashing
them to support and worship an internationally wanted criminal.
