Dear Mr. Prabath Sahabandu
Editor in Chief,
The Island

I refer one news items dated 02th March 2006 On Island Newspaper that contents of which are malicious and libellous and spoiling my reputation publish an apology to that effect. The allegations being made against me are baseless and not truth. I am neither a supporter nor an opponent of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). I have only ever met with members of the LTTE on two (2) occasions in my life. The first time was during a trip to Sri Lanka alongsidea MEP in 2002.

The second incidence was during the Peace Talks in Europe, where I was working as a reporter for British media organisations and some other NGOs. Other than the above mentioned two occasions, I have never ever met with members of the LTTE. I have never visited Vanni or any other LTTE administered areas in Sri Lanka.

Neither have I ever supported the LTTE in any way what so ever. I haven’t go to Geneva this time too but your newspaper saying that the role of Sethu Nadarajah, who was a part of the LTTE negotiating delegation, is also being questioned. Its been suggested that Sethu Nadarajah is linked to Nitharsanam.com the internet web site associated with the intelligence wing of the LTTE. I don’t have any direct or indirect contact with LTTE in Norway or Srilanka I am so surprised this News on island paper because I am living in Norway, not went to Geneva take then How can I be a part of the LTTE negotiating delegation, I don’t have any is linked to Nitharsanam.com.

Norway government also openly said that Nithrsanam website not based from Norway according to this website asiantrubune.com As I had been in the forefront of exposing All Tamil Group including Karuna Group members who were participating in illegal activities in Europe, they have gone to the extent of labelling me as a member of the LTTE. I would like to further add that, I am not the administrator or editor of any other website than Oslo Voice.

If you want any news help you can contact me any time.
Yours faithfully
Sethu Nadarajah
