Anti-LTTE demonstration in Sweden

The anti-LTTE demonstration at Sergels Torg, in the heart of city of Stockholm, on Sunday by Sri Lankans in Sweden was the fifth in the Nordic region and the third to be held in Stockholm aimed to display the activities by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

A large number of Sri Lankans living in Sweden and Swedish nationals took part in the public protest and expressed their growing discontent with the LTTE extortion.

They drafted a letter to be presented to Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, who will be the future President of the European Union, requesting to take action to stop ransom collections by the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation, money laundering, intimidation and harassment of Tamils and Sinhala civilians.

The protest envisaged brutal terrorist activities taking place in Sri Lanka and appealed to the donors to be cautious on their charities disbursed through established front organisations that finance LTTE terrorist activities.
