LTTE urges China to consider Tamils plight at UN
[TamilNet, Friday, 20 March 2009, 07:31 GMT]
Political Head of the Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE), B. Nadesan, on Friday urged Chinese government to allow Tamils plight to be discussed at the UN Security Council for a second time. "The Sri Lankan state is not only denying the Tamil sovereignty, but it is waging a genocidal war against them of catastrophic dimensions," said Mr. Nadesan adding that Colombo was engaged in a propaganda campaign saying that the conflict is an internal matter.

"We urge China, Russia and all the powers of the world not to ignore the plight of the civilians who face a genocidal war by the Sri Lankan state," he said when contacted by TamilNet following reports that China was not in favour of a second UN Security Council meeting on Sri Lanka.
Earlier, there were reports of Russia not willing to discuss the issue in the Security Council. The UN Security Council later had a briefing.
"Denying medicines, humanitarian supplies and the deliberate, inhuman targeting of civilians constitute serious war crimes and crimes against humanity on the part of the Sri Lankan state," Nadesan said.
More than 70 million Tamils of the region and the Tamil diaspora share a deep concern about the plight of their beleaguered brethren, he pointed out and urged China to discuss the plight of the Tamil people at the UN.
The LTTE's representatives were willing to explain the plight of the Tamils to the Chinese authorities, he further said.

Mr. Nadesan, Why cry wolf now. You people wanted a fight and you have one now. When things dont go your way you say Genocide,oppression, violations of human rights and so on. Get over it the world knows who LTTE is. Nobody died and left the LTTE in charge to represent the majority of honest law abiding Tamil People. Stop intimidating them. You will die soon just like your predecessor Tamil Selvan, so enjoy the few weeks you have left on earth. Spend time with your family. Peace will come soon. SW
Shane, shame on you, you are not human but barbarian, SLA should be fighting the LTTE and not killing the Tamils. The SLA with all terrorist govt in the world combine together can kill the LTTE members known in uniform and carrying arms perhaps, BUT every tamil born in Sri Lanka is an LTTE, and SLA can't kill them all.
We warn you again, The Tamils living in this world is a thousand times larger in population than the Singhalees, don't ask for trouble. We warn you, very soon SL president will be dead and all SLA generals will perish.....
