    The LTTE web site Nitharsanam, alleged to be managed by a close
relative of LTTE's intelligence chief Pottu Amman, reported yesterday
that the Human Rights Watch (HRW) has "apologized" for “faulty
reporting” about LTTE fund-raising activities'. The article on the web
site, published only in Tamil, claimed that more than 23,000 e-mails
have been sent to the HRW offices in New York by Sri Lankan Tamils  living in
Europe and Scandinavian countries. The web site furthermore went on to
claim that this pressure had compelled the HRW to “retract” its report
released last Wednesday. Earlier in the week, the Nithrsanam web site
while demanding an apology from the HRW launched a systematic
campaign of intimidation against Ms.Jo Becker, advocacy director of
the Children's Rights Division at HRW. The web site also issued threats to
members of the Tamil Diaspora community who assisted in the
preparation of the HRW report. This included the posting of  names, family
details and photos of some of the individuals who are alleged to have provided
 information to the HRW during the drafting of the report.

Nitharshanam is part of LTTE propaganda and tells always lies. This website branded the 13 year old Tamil girl who was raped for months as a PROSTITUTE. This girl was a servant girl at the home of LTTE man who is known as PONGU TAMIL GANESH who organised meetings for LTTE!

So, who cares about the reports of this website?

I had one of my friend look for that news on NITHARSANAM and he told me that he cannot find it on that web site. He tried Nitharsanam.com.  Can anyone tell me the correct address of Nitharsanam. Thank you

Be patriotic .. think of the motherland

LTTE is 'feeling the pain'. Desperate to keep their water-boys energised, LTTE is spreading false stories like the one here-

Canada should not only ban the darn terrorists, but also confiscate the money these terrorits have 'invested' through Tamil businessmen in Canada.  LTTE has invested in everything from grocery stores to resturants and movie theaters in UK (and in Canada)- through their supporters and relatives of the LTTE leadership.
