More than 12 youngsters, subjected to LTTE extortions and death threats in Norway, were to seek an urgent meeting with Norway’s Director of Police Ingelin Killengren since the Norwegian Police have so far failed to take LTTE threats and atrocities with deserving seriousness.

The disclosure on Norwegian National Television (NRK) on Wednesday came in the wake of an interview given by the Oslo-based Tamil journalist, Nadaraja Sethurupan, who had been assaulted, harassed and threatened with death by Norway-Oslo based Tigers more than 10 times in the past two years.

Sethurupan who has been living in Norway for more than eight years, has covered the Norway initiated Sri Lankan peace process for media and has been a contributor to many media networks.

The Oslo-based journalist has gone on record saying that Tigers during an LTTE protest before Norwegian Parliament building (Stortinget) on May 15 was brutally assaulted.

Now, the peace loving Tamils in Foreign lands have begun to feel the wrath of the LTTE. Today in Oslo, the majority of Tamils have to toe the line with a few Tamilterrorist supporting thugs who who are still trying to maintain the power they wielded during the Prabhakaran days. For some of these LTTE supporters, the defeat of the LTTE in Sri Lanka has been monetarily disadvantageous. The peace loving Tamil people abroad are getting wiser to the donation and extortion schemes which the Tamil Terrorist supporters are resorting to and are declining their requests.

The Sri Lanka Government is being accused of being unfair to the media and it has been held responsible for the deaths of journalists although nothing has been proved up to date.

Ironically, the only if not one of the very few Tamil Journalists living in Norway has been assaulted, threatened and harassed for two years.

Although, LTTE supporters have been quick to jump on the band wagon to accuse the Sri Lanka Government about the treatment of journalists, what is happening in Oslo seems to be routine to them.

Right now, what is happening in Oslo, is what happened in Northern Sri Lanka when LTTE was in control. Toe our line or else.........

The Oslo Police has turned a blind eye to all these happenings so far. It is time for them to take serious action and show no leniency to the culprits. Perhaps, for Solheim and other Norwegian politicians, this type of thuggery in the land where they tried to broker peace in Sri Lanka, is routine.


“When they assaulted me on May 15 outside Norwegian parliament squeezing my testicles and kicking in my stomach, I managed to get hold of a Policeman and kept him informed.

Tigers are so powerful in Norway that they hold all Tamil civilians hostage against extortions and those opposing them run the risk of being threatened with death by Tigers.”

Those threats have been reported to the Police many times, but nothing has happened up until now. There is an ongoing deep divisions among Tamil Tigers and I believe those who advocate continuation of LTTE violent campaign would succeed.
