NSTnation 'there is no realistic prospect of conviction' LTTE

Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas said there were compelling reasons not to pursue charges against the accused, foremost of which was that"there is no realistic prospect of conviction" against any of them for the 34 charges they were facing.

"Having their photos and other representations in one’s mobile phone or on a Facebook account does not transform one to being a terrorist. Thomas said this was the exact common theme of all the 12 LTTE accused where each of them had in his mobile phone or Facebook account photos of slain LTTE leader V. Prabhakaran and other leaders of the terrorist organisation killed during the Civil War in Sri Lanka.

"But even if there were elements of a ‘terrorist act’ on the part of all or any of the 12 LTTE accused by possessing, distributing or displaying such photos or Prabhakaran, it would be impossible for the prosecution to establish that they do not fall within the excluded category of Section 130B of the Penal Code in that they merely constitute ‘advocacy, protest or dissent’," he said.
