EU re-imposes LTTE ban says Sri Lanka

The Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister said  on Saturday  that the European Union had re-imposed the ban on the LTTE due to intervention by the Sri Lankan government.

Ajith Perera said that that prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe had written to the EU to reconsider the ban on the LTTE.

The General Court of the European Union last year took the decision to repeal measures taken by the Council of the European Union to designate the LTTE as a terrorist organisation in the EU.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
