Swiss LTTE supporters brain-wash Lankan children

LTTE supporters in Switzerland are brainwashing children of Sri Lankan expatriates, according to ilankainet.com, a Tamil website dedicated to Sri Lankan Tamil expatriates.

A member of the 'City Boys', a youth organisation in Switzerland, has threatened a 12-year-old boy for displaying the Sri Lankan flag in public as the boy was wearing a T-shirt with the Sri Lankan flag on it, "ilankainet.com' said.

According to the news item the LTTEers supporting the City Boys member had asked the child whether they speak Sinhala at home and the child said that they do not speak Sinhala. The LTTE supporter thereupon threatened the boy saying that it was wrong to wear the Sri Lankan flag belonging to the Sinhalese and that Tamils should wear the flag with the Tiger emblem. With such incidents within the community parents fear that the children will entertain doubts on what they learn at school and may feel that what they learn is false. The LTTE supporters are disseminating falsehoods of Sri Lankan's history and claims that the LTTE had been fighting a war for 60 years. The article in ilankainet.com said that genuine patriotic Sri Lankans must protect the future generation from these terrorist supporters.
