A demonstration organized by pro-LTTE Non-Government Organizations at The Hague, Netherlands yesterday (29) failed due to scant participation.

The demonstration was organized by an organization described as the International Committee Against Disappearance, in its advance publicity said there will be a large participation at the protest, which was to coincide with the exhibition of LTTE terrorist brutalities and anti-democratic activities being held the same day at the Sri Lanka Embassy at The Hague.

When the exhibition opened with large photographs showing LTTE atrocities against Tamil and other democratic politicians, and the brutalities carried out against civilians, displayed outside the Sri Lanka Embassy, the protest demonstrators who numbered less than ten dispersed, within minutes.

The anti-LTTE activities of Sri Lankan organizations in European countries are now facing up to the challenge of the massive pro-LTTE propaganda being carried out throughout Europe, by sections of the Tamil Diaspora and pro-LTTE NGOs based in Europe. The exhibition that focuses on terrorism and brutalities of the LTTE through the past 30 years has drawn large audiences in both London UK and The Hague in the Netherlands.

The exhibition will be held next week in Paris, France. It is organized by the Photography Unit of the Media Division, Presidential Secretariat; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka, and the Sri Lanka diplomatic missions in the respective venues.
