Five LTTE members arrested
Walter JAYAWARDHANA
The Metropolitan Police of London said they have arrested five LTTE
demonstrators opposite the Russian Embassy at Kensington Palace Gardens
at Bays Water Road junction in Central London for displaying material
which supports a proscribed organization in the United Kingdom.
The Russian Embassy is the latest place the usually violent LTTE went
for demonstrations but unlike at the Sri Lankan, Chinese and Indian
offices of envoys the 150 strong crowd was more tamed. The five were
arrested under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act for displaying material
in support of a terrorist group.
Although the LTTE members were blatantly displaying the Fascist
terrorist flags of their outfit before in front of foreign diplomatic
offices this is the first time they were arrested for carrying the flag
of the leaping ferocious Tiger.
