Lankan expats in Britain plan major anti - LTTE protest

COLOMBO: The Sri Lankan expatriate community in Britain is planning a major protest campaign on June 8, asking the UK Government not to lift the ban on the LTTE. The protest campaign has been organised by all three major expatriate communities in the UK Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim.

The Chairman of the Sri Lanka "Janahanda" foundation speaking to the "Daily News" said with the impending elections in the UK, they had received information about a plot by certain politicians campaigning for the lifting of the ban with the intention of getting votes from the Sri Lankan Tamil community.

The protest campaign is planned to be held in front of the Parliament building in London.

According to Sri Lal Dias, the intention of this campaign would be to reveal the true face of the LTTE in front of the international diaspora.

Already, a number of organisations have come forward for this purpose and some of them are to meet UK Parliamentarians personally to educate them on the matter, Dias said.

Dias also added that it was the duty of all Sri Lankans to come forward in protecting the national interest at this critical juncture, be it abroad or local.
