Local Tamils deny funding secessionist brothers

AdvertisementTHE East Burwood house raided by the Australian Federal Police is a Tamil community centre and a distribution centre for the Tamil newspaper Eelamurasu, according to community sources.
The Tamil Co-ordinating Committee of Australia, raided on Wednesday night, was a legitimate organisation looking after the welfare of Tamils in Melbourne and Sri Lanka, a community leader said.
A white van laden with bundles of copies of the paper and copies of a Tamil book, War and Peace, about the Tamil Tigers, sat in the driveway of the Ray Road house yesterday.
Small black statues of what appears to be a Tamil Tiger fighter with two children stand in the front garden of the brown brick house close to a satellite dish. There is a sign in ornate Tamil script in one of the windows.
The raid was linked to an investigation into alleged fund-raising for the Tamil Tigers.
A man who frequents the community centre told The Age: "It wasn't like a raid. The police talked to people and took away a computer. No one was arrested or charged. The house is a resource centre. It's like a library."
Tamil community figures said Eelamurasu was a community paper sympathetic to the Tamil separatist cause and culture.
The Tamil language paper carries photographs of Tamil Tiger and other political leaders alongside news from Sri Lanka and lots of local community items.
Sivarajah Jathevan, who is said to be the editor of the bi-monthly newspaper, told The Age yesterday that he knew nothing about a police raid.
The Ray Road house is understood to be the office for the Tamil Co-ordinating Committee, a small group that organises fund-raisers for Tamil political and cultural causes.
The phone at the community house is in the name of Aruran Vinayagamorthy, but it is believed that one of his relatives looks after the property, not he.
Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation executive director Dr Rajan Rasiah reiterated his shock at the police action yesterday.
Dr Rasiah said, "I really can't understand why this has happened because these organisations have been around for so long."
Community leaders yesterday denied locals raised funds for terrorist activities in the Tamil bid for freedom from Sri Lanka.
There are several thousand Tamils among the 26,500 Sri Lankan-born people living in Victoria. But they did not financially support the work of the Tamil Tigers, the Victorian Tamil Cultural Association's general secretary, N. R. Wickiramasingham, said.
"They send money to look after relatives but not to look after the Tigers," said Mr Wickiramasingham. He said the co-ordinating committee did bona fide good works.
And Elam Tamil Association president T. Nithy said his organisation had helped the committee carry out fund-raising after last December's tsunami.
But Ranjith Soysa, spokesman for the Society for Peace, Unity and Human Rights in Sri Lanka, said many people unwittingly contributed to the Tigers' cause.

Tamils fear police backlash

AdvertisementAustralian Tamils could be ostracised following raids in Melbourne targeting a group suspected of assisting the Tamil Tigers terrorist organisation, a community spokesman says.
Federal and Victorian police yesterday raided an undisclosed number of residences across Melbourne, including a house in East Burwood in the city's east.
Newspaper reports suggest those targeted by the raids were suspected of providing material support to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a group that has waged a 30-year battle for a separate homeland in northern Sri Lanka.
There were no arrests and the investigation is ongoing, a Federal Police spokeswoman said today.
The spokeswoman confirmed materials were seized at the properties but would not identify the items taken.
The raids were not linked to the arrest of 18 men on anti-terror charges following a series of raids in Melbourne and Sydney earlier this month.
Tamil community spokesman Ratnam Kandasamy said the Tamil Tigers had never posed any threat to Australia and had been at peace and in talks with the Sri Lankan government for several years.
With tensions already high following the earlier anti-terror raids, Mr Kandasamy said he feared a backlash against the Tamils.
"My worry is that the Tamil community could be misunderstood and targeted like the Muslim community," he told AAP.
"We have to live in peace in this country. We have integrated into Australian society, and I can't understand why this has happened.
"The Australian press has a great responsibility to look at these reports and explain so they can educate the public.
"My worry is that peace in this country will be lost because the situation in Sri Lanka will be misunderstood by Australians."

Tamil Tigers in tsunami funds row
Cameron Stewart and Natasha Robinson
November 25, 2005
SRI Lanka warned the Howard Government that charity donations given by Australians after the tsunami may have been used to fund terrorist group the Tamil Tigers.
The warning came ahead of police raids in Melbourne this week on a group suspected of raising funds to support the Tigers, who are waging a bloody war to create a separate homeland in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankan Deputy High Commissioner Asoka Girihagama told The Australian yesterday that Sri Lanka had passed information to Australia about suspected fundraising by the Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation.
"We have heard bad news about the TRO's fundraising activities in Australia," he said. "We have kept the Australian Government very well informed about these activities."
Those raided in Melbourne this week were believed to have links to the TRO, which sells itself as a Tamil charity organisation but is widely suspected of funding the Tamil Tigers.
The head of the TRO in Australia, Melbourne-based gynaecologist Rajan Rasiah, was unaware that any of his members were raided but revealed his organisation's fundraising had jumped fivefold after the tsunami, which ravaged the nation, from $200,000 a year in charitable donations to $1.1million.
Dr Rasiah insisted that the TRO had no choice but to co-operate with the Tamil Tigers, also known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam or LTTE, in directing charitable contributions because they controlled northeast parts of the country.
"You have to work with the permission, with the approval and with the support of the LTTE if you want to work in the north-east," Dr Rasiah said.
While the Tamil Tigers are not officially proscribed as a terrorist organisation in Australia, they are considered to be engaged in terrorist activity in their homeland. However, Dr Rasiah said the Tigers were "freedom fighters", not terrorists.
Mr Girihagama said TRO claims to be a charity organisation may have been a "pretext" to gather funds to assist the Tamil Tigers.
Dr Rasiah said the TRO was a signatory to the code of conduct of the umbrella organisation the Australian Council for International Development, that its funds were audited by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and that the Australian Tax Office had full details of where its money was directed.
He denied that any of the $1.1million collected by the TRO after the Boxing Day tsunami was used to fund LTTE.
"Just because we are Tamils and we are raising funds for our people ourselves, we are accused," he said. "If UNICEF gives money or Oxfam gives money to the northeast, there is no accusation.
"And the amount of money we collect is so little. I mean, come on, you can't run a war with that sort of money."
The Wednesday raids targeted homes in suburban Melbourne, including a house in Burwood East reportedly owned by Tamil press owner Ponniah Sathiyanathan.
A Melbourne Tamil man who yesterday visited the Burwood East house said it was the base for the Tamil Co-ordinating Committee. A neighbour said police had spent about six hours at the home, where Australian Federal Police officers seized material believed to be computer hard drives and literature.
Dr Rasiah said the Australian branch of the TRO's northern Sri Lanka base was in Killinochi, within the heartland controlled by LTTE separatists.
Despite a 2002 ceasefire, the past year has seen a re-emergence of tensions, and a Sri Lankan presidential election in November - boycotted by the Tamil Tigers - destabilised the peace process.
Dr Rasiah said he believed the change of government in Sri Lanka was the reason members of the Tamil Co-ordinating Committee had been raided.
Mr Girihagama said he was uncertain if this week's raids were directly linked to information provided to Australia by Sri Lanka.
