斯里蘭卡取締16個泰米爾流亡組織

Sri Lanka has banned 16 Tamil groups in exile, including the Tamil Tigers, for alleged terrorism.

The Colombo government has frozen the assets of the organizations and barred citizens from supporting them or having any contact with them.

Sri Lankan says it is acting under a United Nations Security Council resolution that steps up the fight against terrorism by, among other actions, trying to cut off funding for terror groups.

Tamil Tiger rebels fought a 30 year-long civil war for an independent Tamil state on Sri Lanka.

The United Nations last week approved an international investigation into alleged atrocities and war crimes by Sri Lankan forces during the last years of the war.

The Sri Lankan government has denounced the investigation as politically motivated and one-sided.斯里蘭卡下令取締16個泰米爾海外流亡組織，包括泰米爾猛虎組織，指稱他們從事恐怖主義。

斯里蘭卡政府凍結了這些組織的資產並禁止公民向這些組織提供支持或與他們保持任何聯繫。

科倫坡說，政府是根據聯合國安理會的一項決議而採取的行動。這項決議要求加大反恐力度，採取切斷恐怖組織經費來源等一系列行動。

泰米爾猛虎組織爲了在斯里蘭卡建立獨立的泰米爾國家而打了30年的內戰。

上星期，聯合國同意針對斯里蘭卡政府軍在戰爭最後幾年期間犯有暴行和戰爭罪的指稱展開國際調查。

斯里蘭卡政府譴責這項調查是出於政治動機而且偏袒一方。
