The Sri Lankan delegation to Europe has urged the German government to be aware of several Liberation Tamil Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) front organisations, that were operating under the disguise of community initiatives and organisations.
Speaking to the Minister of Foreign affairs, Dr Guido Westerwelle, Siri Lankas External Affairs Minister, G.L Peiris, proposed that a substantial number of schools operating in Germany were for terrorist propaganda and fund raising purposes.
Attending a meeting of the German Association for Foreign Policy (GDAP), Peiris stressed the need for an objective approach when looking at Sri Lanka, Peiris also suggested that the resolution was only passed due to the overarching influence that the United States of America had over large members of the council.
He stressed that the tabled resolution was at the United Nations Human Rights Council, due to strong political ties between nations and strategic economic interests.
The latest warning of diaspora terrorism comes as a German Non governmental organisation worker was arrested in Colombo.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
