GOSL Proscribed Father S J Emmanuel A Catholic Priest linked to LTTE

Terrorism
LTTE ground force including its leader were defeated in May 2009. LTTE remains
banned in 32 countries even 5 years after its defeat. LTTE did not fight with sticks
or stones but became a terrorist movement with its own aerial and naval wing with
suicide cadres and Eelam bank issuing its own currency/notes, had its own Eelam
court including an appeals court, its own police, Eelam ID cards. Prabakaran could
not have run the Eelam show on his own. He had the men but the men needed arms
and ammunition and together the LTTE needed propaganda. Thats where the
overseas Eelam lobby gets connected. Thats why banning LTTE alone is not good
enough. Every murder LTTE committed had the collaboration of Tamil Diaspora
groups which have now been declared banned by Sri Lanka and the next stage is that
given that these entities are operating from overseas, these foreign Governments
that continue to ban the LTTE need to now rope in all of the organizations that Sri
Lanka has declared as proscribed and as terrorists. The tragedy is how the world and
the Vatican can watch a Catholic priest heading a banned terror front continue to
praise the LTTE leader and equate him with Jesus Christ.
The GOSL has banned 16 LTTE fronts and named over 400 individuals as supporting
terrorism. The ban is gazetted by the GOSL in 2014 includes the leaders of the main
LTTE fronts US citizen Rudrakumaran of the TGTE, Nediyawan in Norway,
Headquarters Group led by Vinayagam and the Global Tamil Forum led by FATHER S
J Emmanuel. All these organizations/individuals are now banned under United
National Security Council Resolution 1373.
What needs to be highlighted about these LTTE fronts banned by the GOSL is that
the key players all formed themselves immediately after the defeat of the LTTE and
began projecting themselves as charities, human rights advocates, peace doves and
whatever other jargon they could incorporate to camouflage their true objectives.
This fits well with the proscription as LTTE fronts because none of these
organizations issued a single statement against the LTTE for its crimes pre-2009 and
does that not look quite awkward in the manner they claim to be collecting money
for victims the victims were Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims.

Allegations against Father Emmanuel : Evidence of Father Emmanuel advocating
separatism and contributing towards the disunity of Sri Lanka


A friend of Velupillai Prabakaran and visited him in North Sri Lanka during the
peace talks Emmanuel meets prabakaran -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov0VFEwxtYQ
A friend of Veerakathy Manivannan alias Castro, the head of the Wanni based
LTTE international Secretariat

The army on Vanni front recovered hundreds of photographs, including one
showing Fr. Emmanuel sitting next to Castro
He hailed Prabhakaran as a freedom fighter who has given leadership to a
movement committed to setting up the homeland to Tamil Eelam.
He compared Prabhakaran to Jesus Christ
He called the LTTE the soldiers of Christ
He called the suicide bombers as martyrs of the Catholic Church to whom
the Church provided a Catholic burial.
He called himself Moses but says he is first a Tamil and then a Christian.
He has been openly campaigning for the LTTE and claims to write theology
only for Tamils (does this not mean that Sinhala Christians are excluded). Is
it not the objective of the Christian missionary movement in both India
and Sri Lanka to disempower the Hindus and the Buddhists, similar to the
success achieved by Christianity in South Korea within one generation?
Why would the Church allow a separate congregation for Tamils and non-
Tamils inside the Church in a religion preaching to all equally and when all
are supposed to be Gods children?
Key trainer for the LTTE indoctrinating youth
Worked with LTTE activists led by Arunachalam Chrishanthakumar (A C
Shanthan) now arrested and in prison from Eelam House in Long Lane, London
Worked with Castro instructing LTTE cadres at the Colonel Kittu Political
College in Wanni.
25 Aug 1996 - Emmanuel blessed Eelam House and hoped that it would become
the "Official Tamil Eelam Embassy in London in the foreseeable future."
1996 Addressed an international conference in Canberra Australia he
appealed and said let my people go but he did not repeat the same words
to the LTTE when they kept 300,000 as hostages/human shields.
July 1998 Friends for Peace/Australia where Father Emmanuel addressed a
gathering of 19 persons.
He addressed the Anton Balasingham memorial in Germany in 2009 with the
LTTE flag decorating the podium
26 March 2009, World Tamil Forum conference at Crown Plaza Hotel in London
passed a resolution recognizing that the Tamil people have mandated the
establishment of a free, sovereign state of Tamil Eelam (in Sri Lanka) as the
only enduring solution. Furthermore, this conference recognized that the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is the authentic representative of
the Tamil people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Me7bjuwzU
Global Tamil Forum headed by Father Emmanuel formed 9 months after the
defeat of the LTTE 24 February 2010.
2011 - Though granted multiple entry visa to India, his meetings in Tamil Nadu
were with pro-LTTE elements resulting in the Indian authorities denying him
entry to Tamil Nadu via Meenambakkam Airport in Chennai compelling him to
turn back. He has not been to India since.
TV documentaries released by the National Dooradarshan Television (NDTV)
in India in early 2000 describes Father Emmanuel as a close associate of
Prabakaran
31 Dec 2012 - organized a skype conference between the representatives of
the GTF members operating in UK, Canada and USA including the Bishop of
Mannar Rev Rayappu Joseph who gave his support to the LTTE
played a central role in convincing bishops and other religious dignitaries from
Malaysia to Australia and the West to contribute funds
maintains close contact with several pro LTTE intellectuals
Father Emmanuel contacted to raise funds were Professor Mallikadevi
Sabanayagam, MP in the Canadian Parliament for the New Democratic Party
(NDP) representing Scarborough Rouge River, who engaged in fund raising
activities for Amnesty International.
Father Emmanuel continues to radicalize the younger generation especially
those in Tamil schools in Europe particularly in Germany
10 Oct 2010 - Father Emmanuels links to another proscribed pro-LTTE
supporter Nediyawan is shown in using the strategy formulated by Nediyawan
by creating another front under GTF known as House of Eelam Tamils Foru in
Germany in order to rally LTTE activists and cadres now living around the
world. This is a very dangerous scenario and calls for foreign governments to
take action.
January 2014 GTF led a 7 member delegation under Fr. S J Emmanuel to the
centenary celebrations of the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa.

2013 TGTE was invited to open an office in South Sudan
Nitin Anant Ghokales New Delhi Televisions Defense and Strategic Affairs
editor in his book LTTEs Eelam 4 declares that the West wanted to save
Prabakaran and other terror leaders as they wanted to use LTTE as a lever
against Sri Lanka.
SURPRISINGLY, the Tamil Tigers' cult of martyrdom receives sanction from
many Anglican and Catholic priests and the Hindu pundits. .. But for us,
these boys and girls aren't suicides, they're martyrs. They are giving up their
lives for a higher cause, the way Jesus Christ did." (Tim McGirk 1995 - article
by the British newspaper Independent titled Boys and Girls come out to Die
Jan 2004 Father Emmanuel visits Sydney Archbishop Cardinal George Pell to
press for international inquiry against Sri Lanka



From the mouth of Father Emmanuel
we are not a terrorist group, we are a group fighting for our liberation 17
th

Oct 2000, Geneva at the launch of The Politics of Duplicity a book authored
by Anton Balasingham the political advisor of the LTTE. The We are not a
Terrorist Group speech was heard by Michael Roy (Le Courier a Swiss
newspaper), Dr. Charles Graves of Interfaith International, Ms. Verena Graf,
Secretary General of International League for the Rights and Liberation of
Peoples a UN registered NGO, Malik Ozden of Centre Europe-Tiers Monde, Ms.
Brigette Morgenthal married to a Subramaniam, Anton Ponrajah (LTTE leader
in Switzerland International Federation of Tamils), Prathibaharan (Anton
Ponrajahs Assistant), Suriyakumar (LTTE activist)
Father Emmanuel describing Prabakaran a freedom fighter who has given
leadership to a movement committed to setting up the homeland to Tamil
Eelam so that oppressed Tamil people could be saved from the chauvinist
Sinhala regime
1996 US Tamil Sangam - pool your resources at the service of your
liberation. (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Australia boycotted
the two day conference)
25 August 1996 - participated in the opening of Eelam House (LTTE House in
UK) and made a speech
1997 visited Desmond Tutu in South Africa to convince the ANC that the LTTE
is similar to a liberation movement of South Africa.
November 2004 a book Viduthalaipperoli was written by the Eelamurusu
editorial board in France to commemorate the 50th birthday of Velupillai
Prabakaran. Father Emmanuels praise of Prabakaran as Saluting the Leader
and Architect of a New Tamil Nation..The liberation that he leads and the
leadership that he wields are unique in many ways and write new chapters in
the history of liberation and leadership in the world: His eyes, ears and heart
were wide open to the agonizing cries of his people. He grew with a passion
for freedom and a determined will to lead his people: Sinhala Governments
have changed and their leaders have adopted varying tactics and offers, but
the LTTE leadership has stood firm on its ground for its ideals and
commitments: Malicious propaganda never weakened the Tamil Leadership
nor lessened their commitment struggle: Prabakaran is not only the present
national leader standing up for his people against oppressors and challengers,
but also the unforgettable architect of a leadership.
July 8, 2009 Appeal to the Tamil Diaspora - let us not betray the struggle or
its goals as evolved, formulated and consolidated by the sacrifice of many
thousand combatants and civilians under the leadership of the LTTE / let
us change the phase in the struggle from the earlier militant cum political
phase to a political and international phase. Our leader Prabakaran spoke
convincingly of the aspiration, the goal and direction of the Tamil struggle.

Due to his religious affiliation, Father Emmanuel was able to directly influence
Western Christendom against Sri Lanka and in favour of the LTTE cause to which
he was closely linked. As such to date the Church, its leaders have not issued
anything against Fr. Emmanuel for comparing Prabakaran to Jesus, for calling
LTTE cadres as soldiers of Christ or referring to suicide bombers as martyrs of
the Catholic Church or even calling himself Moses!
This silence also prompts us to question whether the Church leaders have been
linked to LTTE over the years for the Church has taken no steps to investigate or
reprimand Church leaders praising LTTE or its Leader and providing material
support to it.

Ties of the Church to the LTTE is another area for investigation
From his experience in the 1980s the former High Commissioner for India J N Dixit
wrote a book Assignment Colombo and page 228 he states what was fascinating
was that the Tamil Catholic clergy kept arguing in favour of the LTTE throughout my
tenure in Sri Lana.
This was in the 1980s fast forward to mid 1990s, Tim McGirks article Boys and
Girls come out to Die following an interview with Father Emmanuel, he wrote that
surprisingly, the Tamil tigers cult of martyrdom receives sanction from many
Anglican and Catholic priests and the Hindu pundits.
Thus if Dixit was fascinated that the Tamil catholic clergy kept arguing in favour of
the LTTE and Britisher Tim McGirk was surprised that Tamil tigers cult of martyrdom
received sanction from Anglican and Catholic priests it is essential that with Father
Emmanuel himself declared proscribed and his organization the Global Tamil Forum
also proscribed as a terrorist supporting entity the UN and countries where GTF and
its constituents are functioning openly in view of the UNSC Resolution 1373 ban,
Father Emmanuel, GTF, its constituents and all members need to be internationally
investigated.

Tamil service of the Radio Veritas is run by the Tamil Catholics of Tamil Nadu.
Voice of Tigers had a coordinating office inside St. Sebastians Church in
Mallavi, Wanni and this LTTE office was opened by pro-LTTE bishop Father
Rayppu Joseph who allowed LTTE to use the Madhu Church)

Jayasingham of the National Peace Council
Rajappu Joseph, Bishop of Mannar, declared open the Embassy of the Tamil
Eelam, the Eelam House in London.
A senior Christian priest, Rev. Sam T. Jayathilakarajah of the Achchelu
Methodist Church and his brother, Dr. Jayakularajah enthusiastically gave
shelter and performed surgery on injured LTTE members (including
Pulenthiran and Seelan) after they attacked the Chavakachcheri Police
station in 1982.
A second Christian priest, Father Aabaranam Singarayar provided a constant
supply of painkillers to these LTTE members as they recuperated from
surgery. This is confirmed by Maj.Gen. Sarath Munasinghe, the head of the
army intelligence unit of Sri Lanka, who arrested interrogated both these
priests.
Christian priest, Father Anton Sinnarasa was also arrested by the Sri Lankan
army for sheltering the LTTE members and for his involvement in the LTTE
bank van holdup at Neervely, where 81 lakhs of rupees was robbed on March
25th 1981. In September 1983, Father Sinnarasa later escaped from custody
during the famous Batticoloa jailbreak. He slipped away to Canada a few years
later and continues to lead LTTE-front activities in Tamil-dominated suburbs
of Toronto under the name Anton Philip.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ran a detailed report on another Christian
priest, Father Francis Xavier who is a leading organizer and fundraiser for the
Tamil Tigers in Toronto, Canada.

Diocese (Church of South India) and Mr J Rajanayagam from Jaffna Diocese
(Church of South India) are the chief guests at TRO functions held to
distribute fishing nets, boats and houses to the Tsunami victims.
Christian evangelization of the Tamil Hindu identity is what is at stake and
Tamil Hindus need to realize this important component in a zigsaw that they
fail to see and realize their true enemies.
Thats the Christian connection. Look at the high profile connections the banned
GTF has and it does make any to wonder who is the terrorist and who is the war
against terrorism is really with. It is startling how politicians have deteriorated to
bow down to electoral bribing and attend events and make speeches about issues
they know little about but also end up totally disturbing diplomacy and decency in
governance between nations.
Foreign Leaders associated with LTTE fronts
Former US Ambassador to SL /Asst Secretary of State for South & Central Asia
Robert Blake
Officials of international organizations UN/EU and INGOs obtaining their
support
British Government and Opposition Leaders even a meeting at No.10 on 7 Nov
2013 before CHOGM
British PM Cameron invited to No.10 representatives of GTF, BTF, British
Tamil Conservatives, Tamils for Labor, Tamil Information Centre, Tamils
against Genocide, Illankai Tamil Arasu Katchi (UK Branch)
Gordon Brown then PM of Britain attended the GTF inaugural GM on 24
February 2010
Then British Foreign Secretary David Miliband attended the GTF GM. He also
called for a ceasefire before the LTTE was defeated.
Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague also attended
Alistair Burt MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office,
Liberal Democrats Shadow Foreign Secretary Ed Davey were also present.
Robert Halfon, Conservative MP from Harlow We must stop the genocide of
the Tamils. The world must stop the barbarism of the Sri Lankan
regime, (2002 BTF art exhibition)
Also present at the same exhibition shadow foreign secretary, Douglas
Alexander, Labour MP for Wolverhampton South-East, Pat McFadden, Lord
Quirk and Lord Kennedy, Heidi Alexander, Labour MP Lewisham East The
need for international independent investigation into the crimes and
atrocities that have taken place in Sri Lanka is clear from your exhibition and
the UK has a responsibility to act to make this happen,
Joan Ryan, former member of Labor Party, MP for Enfield North (1997-2010)
was elected as the CEO of GTF. She was also Parliamentary Under Secretary
of State for nationality, citizenship and immigration and was responsible for
ID cards/passports, refugee integration etc. In the light of the exposure of
Tamil asylum seekers (especially those with LTTE connections) paying to be
tortured to secure asylum there is a big question mark as to what role she
played during her tenure between 2006-2007 in charge of ID/passports given
her role as CEO of GTF- a banned LTTE front. In May 2009 she claimed 4,500
under the Additional Costs Allowance. In February 2010 she was asked to pay
5,121 mortgage interest, the same period news covered 20 attempts to
delete from Parliament omputers details of her expense claims and the same
period she joins a terrorist front as CEO!
Stuart Drake also joined Joan Ryan and GTF as its Research and
Communication Chief
