LTTE Terrorists in Custody to be Released Soon?

Pro-LTTE Tamil terrorists political party who are in the coalition of  the new President and Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe demanding to  release of LTTE Tamil terrorists in the custody for their terrorism acts considering them as political prisoners with a general pardon. TNA is trying to justify this move as it would pave the way for so called reconciliation with the LTTE and TNA.

Tamil National Alliance (TNA) spokesman Suresh Premachandran said that “Tamil people have shown their goodwill by voting for the new government. They have cast their votes, placing trust in the new government, when the TNA campaigned in the North and East to vote for a change, without any precondition,” he said. TNA is now adding their demands one by one in addition to their main demand of full implementation of 13th Amendment and Federal state for the North and East two provinces.

TNA is considering that the new government has received an opportunity to express its goodwill to the people of the North and East by releasing LTTE terrorists. TNA is trying their best effort to paint a picture that those LTTE terrorist in custody are as political prisoners. Suresh Premachandran said that “these political prisoners have been spending almost 10-15 years in the prisons without any proper cases filed against them or investigations conducted. There are a large number of young women and men, who have been political prisoners for many years. No proper action had been taken,” he said.
He stressed that as the President won the election because of the minorities votes specially Tamil votes the new government should take actions to release the political prisoners and resettle those who are remaining in welfare centres. The new President secured victory as the result of the votes cast by the minorities,” he said.
TNA once declared LTTE Tamil terrorists are the sole representative of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka. TNA carries the LTTE separatism ideology of elam within Sri Lanka and in the foreign countries against Sri Lanka.
