International community 'silent' over LTTE's killings

The People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE) has blamed the international community for indirectly encouraging the LTTE to create a culture of human violations in the country by maintaining a 'silence' over the killings and abductions by terrorists.

The Leader of the PLOTE Dharmalingam Sithadthan told the 'Sunday Observer' that today the whole world is talking about human rights violations in Sri Lanka and at the beginning of the ceasefire agreement (CFA) and after the LTTE killed hundreds of people but not a single voice was raised by the international community or INGOs against them.

"A large number of people, including the cadres belonging to other groups who did not support the LTTE were killed and kidnapped but not a single voice was raised by them. Now they have made a big issue out of it", he said.

Sithadthan also said that 'white van' kidnappings had still not been proved and lots of underworld elements were in operation in the country.
