Karu Jayasuriya - Speaker of Parliament, Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka Hon. Mangala Samaraweera - Foreign Minister, Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa – Former President of Sri Lanka Dear Sirs, LTTE Fronts abusing their delisting from Terror List to create racial hatred and disharmony In 2015 November the present Government citing a gesture of reconciliation brought an extra ordinary gazette to delist 8 organizations declared as LTTE fronts by UNSC Resolution 1373 in April 2014 for supplying LTTE material support. Below are the delisted LTTE fronts. In all 16 organizations and over 400 individuals were declared LTTE fronts. What is important is that these entities and individuals were all living overseas and foreign governments had not investigated them for material support given that LTTE terrorists continues to be banned in their countries. Therefore, in spite of the GOSL delisting on a flimsy excuse of reconciliation the legal arguments used to ban them remain valid. Therefore, UNHRC should also be mindful of allowing lobbying by these groups inside the UN as their websites are clearly aiming for a separate state in Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh and Nepal have also banned flights and sought to close their borders with India, where a huge rise in numbers in the past three weeks has taken deaths past 230,000 and cases over 21 million. All three countries are fighting their own pandemic surg- es, which Red Cross leaders have described as a "human catastro- phe". The Sri Lankan government banned flight passengers from India entering, as the country reported its highest daily toll of 14 deaths and 1,939 infections in 24 hours. Sri Lanka's navy said it had stepped up patrols to keep away Indian trawlers, adding that on Tuesday (4) it stopped 11 such vessels which had crossed the nar- row strip of sea dividing the two neighbours. Bangladesh halted all international flights on April 14 because of its own surge and shut its border with India on April 26. It has reported 11,755 COVID-19 deaths and 767,338 cases, but experts say the real figures are higher in all South Asian countries.
