LTTE activities in UK will be taken very seriously - British HC

Should there be evidence of LTTE terrorist activity taking place in UK, we want it to be reported to us, British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, John Rankin stated. It will be taken very seriously and passed on to the police and Crown Prosecution Service for investigation and possible prosecution, he added.The British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka and the Maldives made these statements in the second video of the ‘Ask the High Commissioner’ series, answering a question about possible legal action against alleged LTTE terrorists who might be living in the United Kingdom. The LTTE, he noted, is a prescribed organization in UK and across the European Union as a whole. “And so any terrorist action in support of the LTTE has been criminalized in our country since 2001.” John Rankin stated.The High Commissioner said that the UK Government will take such cases very seriously and pass them on to the Police and Crown Prosecution Service for investigation and prosecution.
