Two men, Arunachalam Chrishanthakumar, (also known as `AC Shanthan`), 50, of Upwood Rd, Norbury, and Goldan Lambert, 29, of Bramley Hill, South Croydon, will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday.
The two men were charged Wednesday afternoon under the Terrorism Act 2000 for providing support for The Liberation Tigers of the Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which is a proscribed organisation in the United Kingdom.
The Main accused, Chrisnakumar alias Shanthan is charged for five offences including purchasing equipment that can be used in terrorist activities, fundraising and organising public events to support the Tamil Tigers.
The other suspect named as Golden Lambert, who was arrested at the Heathrow Airport on his return from Dubai last week, is only charged for managing a meeting at Hyde Park in London on 26th of July 2006.
Chrishanthakumar is charged with five counts. Apart from organising and speaking in the rally to support a proscribed organisation, he is also charged for receiving £1500, `intending that it be used or having reasonable cause to suspect that it may be used for the purposes of terrorism`.
The charges against Shanthan also say that he has possessed `a quantity of literature and manuals including Underwater Warfare Systems, Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Naval Weapons Systems`.
The police also say that they have found in his possession, six trenching spades, thirty nine compasses, and a piece of ballistic body armour. Which the police charge as, `intending that they be used or having reasonable cause to suspect that they may be used for the purposes of terrorism Contrary to Section 15(2) and Section 22 of the Terrorism Act 2000`.
Shnathan who was a close associate of the late Tamil Tiger theoretician Anton Balasingham is also charged for `belonging or professed to belong to a proscribed organisation, namely the LTTE`, until the day he was arrested.
Shanthan had been seen with Balasingham and his wife Adel on their trips to Vanni on several occasions. And he was also identified by many as one of the members of the wider LTTE delegation attending the last round of peace talks in Geneva.
Members of the LTTE are also banned from travelling to EU countries.
Tamil Tiger chief peace negotiator Anton Balasingham lived in South London for many years after the proscription of the Tamil Tigers in the UK. He travelled freely in and out of the UK and attended meetings and gatherings representing the LTTE. He even gave interviews to media as the theoretician of the LTTE.
This is the first time a person has been charged by UK authorities for belonging to the LTTE.

Even the important phone call giving the instructions for the most Recent Claymore bomb came from London, England.
That is something serious. |

lets hear the version of LTTE
LTTEers version:
This is all punnakku.
Innocent until proven guilty.
British LAw courts are better compared to GOSL courts.
Only Robins said, Shanthan seems to be guilty.

Not only do the London police have enough evidence to charge these two LTTE criminals, but there's more good news. The other two LTTE murderers in Australia have been denied bailed.
There goes what little legitimacy you LTTE criminals dreamt you had. You were always and will always be nothing more than a group of thugs who tried to murder their way to power.
The faster these countries deport you economic refugees, the better it will be for the people of that country.
