A group of four men who were showing and viewing a video film containing scenes of the past LTTE victories in the warfront, and its training programmes in an attempt to promote the LTTE organisation was taken into custody by  the Serunuwara police last evening (17).

They were taken into custody during a raid on a house at Mohontuwarama in Eechalanpattu area in Trincomalee.  Police carried out the raid on a tip off from the public.

The suspects were residents of the same area and two of them are believed to be former LTTE cadres. Police are conducting further inquiries into the suspects’ involvement in LTTE activities and to detect the origin of the  video. (Amadoru Amarajeewa)

    Yes . specially those launched by governments.

    This has nothing to do with stationing Army Camps in the North & the East and Militerisation of Tamil Areas. Both Sinhalese & Tamils are watching this in the South & all over the World in Youtube
    Think before you write your comment Baudda.

    Yes you cannot prevent such videos being viewed by people as in this age social media provides ample opportunities for these. However if greivances are recognised and solutions to problems are given there is less likely chances of people viewing these videos will turn to violent means to achive their goals. Then these will be considered as action thrillers and nothing more.

    Whether we like it or not the truth is LTTE is an excellent in all aspects. So their training materials should be part of our military training.

    Who is showing to whom? This is the way to keep every thing in NE.

    This is why we should not remove army camps from north and east as requested by some of our politicians.

    Karuna and Pillian also should be having more of these.

    DINESH Wednesday, 18 April 2012 08:42 AM

    I dont think they need to be punished becuase it is easily available on you tube and further lot of new channels show such video's.Further just because you watch such video's it cannot be considered as promoting LTTE!!

    Have a good harvest!

    Musthafa Wednesday, 18 April 2012 07:01 AM

    ANY ONE CAN SEE FROM NET EASILY- WE MUST WORK WIT PEOPL E MIND DO NOT PUNISH THEM AGAIN TO PUSH FOR ANOTHER ISSUE

    When you have done something wrong and purposely fail to admit and correct it and continue to make the same mistake again and again, then you have to live your life looking over your shoulder without peace of mind. The sinhalese will remain an insecure race.

    Anees Wednesday, 18 April 2012 06:56 AM

    yes, that is true, terrorism should be eradicated

    Nodrog Wednesday, 18 April 2012 06:20 AM

    Get to the bottom of this and punish them. Racial hatred must never be allowed to raise its ugly head again
