Lankans in Italy condemn Britain over allowing LTTE rump have its wayDecember 20, 2010, 8:50 pm
The Sri Lankan Associations in Rome, the clergy, Buddhist Priests and other Associations from Milan to Catania held a massive demonstration and protest in front of the British Embassy in Rome, on December 16, to condemn the British government over its permitting a banned terrorist organization, the LTTE, to hold demonstration at the Heathrow Air port and in front of the Dorchester Hotel, where Sri Lanka’s President Mahinda Rajapaksa was staying and thereby violating its own Anti-terrorist Laws.
Despite the freezing temperature, the Sri Lankans gathered in their numbers to show their solidarity with President Rajapaksa who had by his unflinching resolve and commitment wiped out the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world and freed the Sri Lankan nation from the threat of terrorism.
Despite it being a working day, the Sri Lankans and Italians members of the Anti-terrorist Organization, with Buddhist priests representing every single Temple in Italy, participated in the demonstration. They requested the British Government to adopt the same standards as the Italian government, which is working closely with the Sri Lankan Mission in Rome to eradicate LTTE terrorist cells from Italy. The President of the Sri Lankan Association handed over an appeal to the British Ambassador in Rome Mr. Chaplin.
