Massive anti terrorism demonstration in Paris
More than thousand Sri Lankans and their French
friends gathered at Trocadero, the most significant landmark of Paris,
under the shadow of the Eiffle Tower, to protest against terrorist
attacks unleashed by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), today
(28 July).
The demonstrators, carrying photographs of the victims
of the most brutal killings of innocent civilians by the Tamil Tigers
urged France and the European Union to immediately ban the front
organizations of the LTTE such as WTM, ORT (TRO of France), Tamil
Sangham and other Tamil Eelam associations.
They urged the French President Sarkosy, who is the
current President of the European Union to take effective action to stop
extortion, money laundering, intimidation and harassment of innocent
Tamils in France by the LTTE and its mafia gangs like Miinel, VVT Boys
and Pambu.
The demonstration was organized jointly by United Sri
Lankans comprising 11 Sri Lankan associations and several political
party branches in France. A large number of second generation Sri
Lankans under a banner of Sri Lankan Youth in France were the most
vociferous amongst the demonstrators. In addition to Sinhalese and
Muslims several members of democratic Tamil political parties also took
part in the demonstration.
The demonstrators distributed leaflets describing the
true terror nature of the LTTE to thousands of French nationals and
tourists from all over the globe visiting the magnificent Parisian
destination, the Eiffle Tower.
