'Norway helps LTTE to create political instability in Lanka'
AUSTRALIA: The World Alliance for Peace in Sri Lanka (WAPS)
along with their associate organisations, NAT and Sansadaya have taken
many steps to expose the LTTE-friendly activities of Norway and
Norwegian foreign ministry cabal led by Erick Solheim.
"We have met Eric Solheim after the WAPS Conference in Oslo and
conveyed our concerns on behalf of Sri Lankans who are at the receiving
end of LTTE terrorism," the Society for Peace, Unity and Human Rights in
Sri Lanka (SPUHR) said in a release yesterday.
But, Norway continues with their program to create space for the LTTE
contributing in a big way to the political and economic instability of
Sri Lanka.
The collection of funds by the LTTE agents to procure arms in Norway,
direct technical and financial support to the LTTE by Norway and
attempts to revamp LTTE's political leadership by Norwegian officials
are serious issues which merit the attention of the UN and the members
of the international community, if they are genuinely interested in
democratic institutions.
It is on record how Norway attempted to provide advantage to the LTTE
delegation at the Geneva talks in the preparation of the agenda and how
they arranged the LTTE delegation to meet in Oslo soon after the Geneva
discussion to plan collection of millions of dollars with Norway as the
centre for disbursement of payments for arms.
Falk Rovik of NAT along with WAPS have given details of all pro-LTTE
acts of Norway and it is upto the Norwegian authorities to investigate
and clear Norway's sullied image.
NAT is an associate of WAPS with strong anti-LTTE organisations in 14
countries. NAT has a well-known website on Norwegian pro-LTTE activities
with several thousand Norwegians accessing it and contributing to
counter pro-terrorist programs of the Norwegian Foreign Ministry.
It is strange how Norwegian Foreign Ministry can accommodate leaders
of the world's most brutal killers-the LTTE- with expenses paid programs
while trying to ridicule Mr. Rovik with a smear campaign.
The Norwegian Foreign Ministry and their NGO fellow travellers
resorted to these tactics when WAPS had its conference in Oslo in August
2004 , but failed to stem the anti- LTTE tide. It is not Mr Falk Rovik
that is on trial. His trial is over and he has been given a clean bill
of health.
It is the Norwegian Government that is on trial and it is afraid of
the judgement. 'We ask Norwegian Government to play the ball, not the
player. Do not try to kill the messenger.'
WAPS will again go before the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee with a
complete dossier against Norway even though we are aware of Norway's
behind the scene manoeuvres to stifle proceedings.
We have made an appeal to the King of Norway and political leaders to
appoint a parliamentary Royal Commission to look into the Norwegian pro-LTTE
activities. We are also exploring the possibility of legal action
against Norway. In the near future, we are planning to appoint a
People's Commission in Sri Lanka to invite submissions and indict
Norway.
Meantime, we request the Norwegian Government, their officials and
Norwegian funded NGOs not to stoop low to avoid responsibility of crimes
against Sri Lanka, says the media release. |
