The five-year ban imposed by the Indian government on the Liberation LTTE has been confirmed by a tribunal set up to examine whether the prohibitions on the terror organization should continue.
According to sources in the Delhi High Court, the tribunal headed by Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal confirmed the ban on the LTTE on November 7th and the confirmation order has been sent to the government, in a sealed cover, for notification.
India had banned the LTTE after the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. Since then, the ban imposed on the group has been extended after every five years.
