Switzerland bans Tiger fund raising

The Swiss Federal Council banned the LTTE from collecting funds on December 2 on the occasion of their Martyr's Day, the Swiss newspaper La Tribune De Geneve reported in its weekend edition.

The newspaper said the LTTE was also banned from carrying out acts of propaganda for the Heroes Day. "The Government wants to show that it is opposed to actions being carried out in Switzerland to support the fighting in Sri Lanka," it added.

Diplomatic sources said the Swiss authorities are further investigating LTTE activities in Switzerland in the context of global action against fund raising by terrorist groups.
