Proscription of LTTE : UK court allows appeal

23 Oct 2020

The UK’s Proscribed Organisation Appeal Commission (POAC) has allowed an appeal against a decision of the Secretary of State, dated 8 March 2019, to refuse an application submitted by Arumugam and Others to remove the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) from the list of organisations proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000. The appellants, Arumugam and Others, are members of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) which is proscribed in Sri Lanka but not in the UK. The appellants submitted that the 2019 decision was flawed for three reasons:
  1. The OPEN materials do not support a belief that LTTE is currently concerned in terrorism
  2. The OPEN materials do not support the exercise of the Secretary of State’s discretion
  3. The continued proscription of the LTTE is an unjustified interference with Articles 10 and 11 rights of those, including the appellants, who are committed to independence for Tamils in Sri Lanka
The appellants further submitted that the Secretary of State cannot rely on any respect on any material if the POAC finds that it was obtained by torture. The POAC deemed that the 2019 decision was flawed, and proceeded to allow the appeal. Moreover, the POAC will hold a further hearing about relief as requested by the parties and therefore nothing about relief was mentioned in allowing the appeal.
