Commenting on the appeal on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) proscription in UK, in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry of Sri Lanka on October 22 said that it has sufficient evidence to prove that the remnants of the LTTE and groups aligned with its terrorist ideology are active in foreign countries, working to incite violence and destabilise the country, reports Daily Mirror. The statement said Sri Lanka has been made aware of the Open Judgement by the Proscribed Organisations Appeals Commission (POAC) of the United Kingdom dated October 21, 2020. “The decision of the POAC arises from an appeal filed in May 2019 by an LTTE front organisation challenging the decision of the UK Secretary of State for Home Affairs dated March 8, 2019, which refused the application by the group to de-proscribe the LTTE from the list of Proscribed Organisations under the UK Terrorism Act of 2000. While the Government of Sri Lanka was not a party to these proceedings at the POAC and could not make direct representations, the Government has assisted the Government of the United Kingdom by providing relevant information with regard to continued terrorist activities. The Open Judgement of the POAC while allowing the Appeal, provides for further hearings, and the Government of Sri Lanka will continue to closely monitor the progress of the case in the UK,” it said.
