UK rule against de-proscribing the LTTE

The UK proscribed organisation appeals commission, an independent court set up by parliament (headed by a High Court Judge and two retired senior diplomats), ruled against de-proscribing the LTTE.

Thus the UK will continue to maintain the proscription on the LTTE, Foreign Affairs Minister Ali Sabry, PC said.

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (“TGTE”) who support the creation of an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka applied to the UK to lift its ban on the LTTE.

The TGTE is not proscribed in the United Kingdom as it seeks to pursue their political and ideological objectives through non- violent means.

The LTTE international network’s approach and strategy is to get foreign governments to de-proscribe the LTTE so that they could revive the LTTE, the Minister said in a message posted on X.
