The Sri Lanka government has decided to ban the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO), a front for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Minister Nimal Siripala de Siva revealed in parliament today.
The cabinet last night decided to ban the TRO with immediate effect.
The proposal to ban the organization which is under investigation in many parts of the world for its links with LTTE came from Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama.
The Sri Lankan government would urge the international community and international non-governmental organizations to sever links with the TRO.
The government froze all local assets of the TRO last year and the United States early this month followed suit in freezing TRO assets as part of its campaign of "financially isolating terrorist groups and their support networks.
The LTTE proscription which was imposed in 1998 came to be lifted in 2002 following the Norwegian backed process of direct negotiations.
