JVP Parliamentary group leader Vijitha Herath yesterday said that they regret that several EU countries have not yet paid sufficient attention to arrest the operations of those organisations who act for and act on behalf of the LTTE in their countries.

Herath said , it is the duty of these countries to arrest LTTE fronts such as the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) under UN conventions on terrorism.

Commending the Government’s successes achieved in its humanitarian operations in the North and East to wipe out LTTE terrorism, he said they honour these victories achieved by the Security Forces who have sacrificed their limbs and lives to establish unprecedented victories to free the land of terrorism.

”We are keen to uphold these victories as well as the honour of those soldiers who fought to protect their country, its pride , sovereignty and unitary status, he added”.

He said , they have urged the Government to look into the matter of LTTE’s front orgnisations in EU countries through Sri Lankan embassies in order to getting them proscribed by these countries.

The US and Canada have proscribed LTTE front orgnisations, the TRO and World Tamil Movement.
