LTTE is a banned organization in the United Kingdom as well as in other parts of the world. Therefore, funds should not be collected for them openly or by underhand methods, said senior member of the House of Lords, Lord Naseby.

He made this observation after visiting a photo exhibition organized by the Sri Lankans Against Terrorism together with Presidential Media Unit and the Sri Lanka High Commission in London yesterday.

The Sri Lankan government respects the right of every ethnic group in the country and if the LTTE is genuinely concerned about the Tamil people what they should do now is to abandon war and hostilities and enter the peace process, he said.

More than 230 photos and video films depicting atrocities carried out by the LTTE including political killings as well as killing of civilians, damage to properties, suicide attacks, and recruitment of child soldiers were exhibited at the exhibition. It is reported that the exhibition attracted more than 1500 visitors including officials of New Scotland Yard.

Two more photo exhibitions followed by this are scheduled in The Hague on 27 and 28 October and later in Paris.
