LTTE front groups run weekend schools in Holland: Report

Brussels: Front
organisations of the vanquished Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)
run some 20 schools on Saturdays in the Netherlands, Dutch media
reported Tuesday.
The revelations were made in a police report that has just been
made public, the EuAsiaNews reported quoting the DutchNews.nl
website. The report was given to the authorities earlier this
year.
The schools in several Dutch cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and
The Hague which teach children of Tamil origin language, dance and
theatre, also use teaching materials praising the Tamil race,
writing about the armed struggle and explaining how humane the
Tamils are on the battlefield, the website said quoting the Dutch
news agency ANP.
A court in The Hague is currently hearing a case against five men
accused of allegedly collecting money for Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers.
They are facing up to 16 years in jail for helping run a terrorist
organisation, it said.
The EU put the Tamil Tigers on its list of terrorist organisations
in 2006.
The LTTE was defeated by the Sri Lankan military in May 2009
ending their nearly three-decade-long armed struggle for an
independent homeland in the north and east of the island nation
for Tamils.
