Around 300 vociferous group of Tamil tiger sympathizers in Auckland held an anti Sri Lankan government protest on Aotea square Queen street on 4th of February during busy rush hour traffic snarls holding anti Sri Lankan government placards, chanting slogans, displaying portraits of most ruthless and barbaric LTTE Tamil tiger rebel leader Prabakaran who is currently wanted by Interpol police for his heinous war crimes he has committed against innocent civilians in Sri Lanka that includes assassination of Indian prime minister Rajeev Gandhi and former Sri Lankan President Ranasinha Premadasa.
The protest was organized in line with Sri Lanka’s 61 Independence Day from Britain in 1948. Sri Lanka is on the verge of wiping out most dangerous and barbarous terrorists on the planet who have been mercilessly fighting with government forces in order to curve out a separate land for minority Tamils in northern and eastern part of Sri Lanka since 1972. Sri Lanka is a multi-cultural and multi-religious country. It is home to all communities who wish to live in Peace and harmony ,sadly sri lankans are gravely being affected by The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, better known by the acronym LTTE, carried out more suicide bombings than any other group in the world - more than
Hamas,
Islamic Jihad, and
Al-Qaeda combined.
Tamil Tiger rebels invented the suicide jacket to world terrorism to kill innocent civilians.
LTTE has carried out a total over 200 suicide attacks causing heavy damage on civilians, economic and military targets. The LTTE pioneered the use of suicide jackets which are copied by many other terrorist Organizations worldwide.
LTTE is already proscribed as a terrorist organization by the United States, Britain, India, Australia and Malaysia and 32 countries. In the aftermath of 9/11 many countries proscribed the LTTE subsequently the EU followed in their footsteps proscribing it. Past Sri Lankan governments invited LTTE leader in a cordial manner to reach an amicable political solution to bring an everlasting peace which facilitated often by international community. Pretty sadly LTTE made u turns few times to hoodwink past Sri Lankan government that showed zero interest in peace while committing atrocities behind the cease fire against innocent civilians to terrorize and massacre them mercilessly, As many such peace-initiatives in the past have failed to bring peace to Sri Lanka, LTTE is now hoisted by its own petard heading for its waterloo imminently completely being boxed and pushed against the wall against the advancing sri lankan troops who are on a humanitarian mission to liberate innocent civilians, who are being trapped as a human shield by LTTE tyranny ,As a result of that Mass exodus of civilians flee and cross over to Sri Lankan army controlled area despite indiscriminate and intentional flurry of gun fire and Artillery fire by LTTE on civilians to reach safe area.
LTTE still keeps them as human shield as you read this article. Last year government troops successfully liberated eastern part of Sri Lanka which was under LTTE control terrorizing the lives of people who lived there, subsequently large number of civilians returned to those newly liberated area and now live without fear of being conscripted, intimidated, and extorted by LTTE rebels. After complete wipe out of this LTTE menace in north of sri lanka finally hon. sri lankan president will look for a political settlement to the ethnic problem to ensure aspirations of all communities, including ethnic Tamils, are taken care of within a united Sri Lanka which already prevails in eastern province after the defeat of LTTE terrorism. inevitably Many can observe LTTE supporters around the world carry out their international smear campaign to discredit Sri Lankan president and his splendid effort to bring an everlasting peace to this beautiful paradise, Sri Lanka appeals international communities to keep a special tabs on those fishy LTTE activities which are operated on foreign soil, Although the LTTE is banned it has front groups Under the guise of raising funds for orphanages, education and rehabilitation programs, more importantly new Zealand turned a new leaf in terms of going to the right path to designate LTTE as a terrorist group.
Last year New Zealand government officials declared to freeze funding the pro-
LTTE Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) following a TV review made by the prominent New Zealand TV channel. New Zealand based activities of the internationally proscribed terror front organization this was raised in response over concerns about the use of New Zealand taxpayers` money by TRO which is banned by the U.S for alleged links to the Tamil Tiger rebel group.The LTTE terrorists have been listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S for 10 years. In 2007 the U.S froze the funds of the TRO revealing it was a front group raising money for equipment and weapons for the internationally proscribed terrorist outfit to kill innocent civilians in Sri Lanka these front groups raise money from international community surreptitiously and discreetly often run by Tamils sympathetic to the LTTE.
Sri Lanka is setting a great example for other countries in terms of fighting terrorism to its extinction. furthermore On 4th February Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksha delivered an Independence Day massage with patriotic utterances ” as a father of three children I have a great responsibility on my shoulder to liberate innocent people form LTTE tyranny specially Tamil youths who are forcefully conscripted and abducted into LTTE child soldier brigade depriving of their education and freedom to live as normal.”
Since LTTE is on the verge of being defeated militarily by courageous and brave Sri Lankan army, international landscape has significantly changed for LTTE tightening the noose around its neck.
The question we, peace loving Auckland Sri Lankans ask from the New Zealand government is, "Do you still allow a group of people who support world’s ruthless banned terrorist outfit known as LTTE to display symbols of terrorists' flags, or portraits of interpol most wanted terrorist leader in New Zealand ? Do you allow banned terrorist group members sympathetic to LTTE to desecrate the Sri Lankan flag in public place on her independence day? Do you allow NGO organization like Global Peace and Justice Auckland to facilitate a rally for Tamil Tiger supporters to desecrate our national flag and burn it?
Thirty two nations of the world have criminalized the activities of LTTE in their own countries by imposing a criminal proscription on LTTE activities to curb the immense amount of propaganda, illegal fund raising and other criminal activities.
As peace loving and law abiding Sri Lankans we earnestly ask NZ government to take stern steps to ban LTTE in NZ.
