As of 26 December 2004 TRO has been rendering urgent humanitarian assistance to all those in the coastal areas of the North-East of the country who have borne the brunt of the Tsunami disaster. TRO was originally set up to provide relief, rehabilitation and development to the war affected people of North-East Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile a prominent paramilitary’s Official News website, neruppu.com, has featured a news article that claims the kidnapped were all members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The Denmark based website, operated by Mr. Mathi Kumarathurai, has been long known to be a base for Sri Lankan paramilitary propaganda.

Several Tamil organisations, and the Diaspora Tamil population from around the world have joined a chorus of voices calling for the Co-Chairs of the Sri Lankan peace process, International Community and Humanitarian Organisations to exert maximum pressure on the Danish authorities, to approach the individuals operating the website and work for the release of the humanitarian workers.
