A senior Sri Lankan Government (SLG)
functionary accused the LTTE of
failure to continue with the peace
process and honoring ceasefire
agreements and called on the European
Union (EU) to follow-through with its
threat to ban the outfit. Chief of
Government Peace Secretariat and
President Mahinda Rajapakse’s Senior
Advisor Dr. Palitha Kohona said “we
expect the European Union to go ahead
with its threatened sanction.”
If the EU goes through with its threat, it will list the LTTE as a terrorist organization, cut off all links with the organization, stop flow of funds, and proscribe interaction of the Tamil Diaspora with the LTTE. Recently, Canada followed earlier examples set by India and the US to ban the LTTE. The EU already has imposed travel restrictions on the LTTE. |
