The Emergency was extended by another month in Parliament yesterday (3 August) with 120 members voting for and 38 against. UNP MP Abdul Cader voted with the Government.
Prime Minister, D M Jayaratne moving the Motion to extend the Emergency Regulations stated that information about the assets of the LTTE in Colombo and the suburbs are being divulged by LTTE cadres who have been arrested and added that the Government is in the process of confiscating them.
He further stated that 765 persons have been arrested under the Public Security Ordinance and another 74 under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. He added that with the information received from LTTE cadres in custody, large quantities of weapons hidden by the LTTE are still being recovered.
Pro-LTTE International Organizations are attempting to reinvigorate the LTTE. The Government of Canada very recently banned an NGO that supported the LTTE. Another person in South India was also imprisoned for one year after continuing to support the LTTE, the Prime Minister said.
