"rest never destroys great men who had lived for lofty ideals"

-Tamil National Leader Mr.V.Pirapaharan

Tamil people have lost today a highly principled man who deeply loved

them and the Tamil Nation. A voice that echoed the freedom of the Tamil

people and their homeland, Tamil Eelam had been silenced today. An

eminent Tamil journalist had fallen victim to the enemy's act of cowardice.

Humble and honest, Mr.Dharmaratnam D.Sivaram is a unique person. He

is knowledgeable and is an expert in the field of journalism. As an

internationally renowned journalist, Sivaram does not need any

introduction.

Through his writings, he brought out the Tamil National question in the

international arena with clarity and cohesion. Diligently and cleverly, he

exposed to the international and diplomatic community, the false

propaganda undertaken by the Sinhala regime. Positioning him in the

Sinhala stronghold, D.Sivaram forthrightly told the outer world the

injustices and the atrocities perpetrated by the Sinhala ruling elite on the

Tamil Nation. Although facing danger and threats, Sivaram fought against

injustice fearlessly with courage. Above all, he relentlessly worked to keep

the Tamil people politically vigilant. The yeoman service rendered by him is

eternally praiseworthy.

Respecting his love of the Nation and his love for freedom, I am proud to

confer post-humously on Mr.Dharmaratnam Sivaram, the noble National

Award of "Great Man". rest never destroys great men who have lived

for lofty ideals. They have an everlasting place in the history of our

Nation.

LTTE should demand that the Sri Lankan government:

To REMOVE the war chorusing racists political leaders from the

government positions

To SACK all armed forces commanders advocating the war from their

post.

To LIFT the economic embargo imposed on the Tamil people immediately.

" - 'The Sinhala political organizations and their leadership,

which are deeply buried in the mud of Sinhala-Buddhist chauvinism, will

never be able to comprehend the political aspirations of the people of

Tamil Eelam. None of the major Sinhala political parties are prepared to

recognize the fundamentals underlying the Tamil national question. None

of the Sinhala political organizations is prepared to accept the

northeastern region as the historical homeland of the Tamil-speaking

people, that the Tamils consbreastute themselves as a distinct nationality and

that they are enbreastled to the right to self-determination, including the right

to secede. -
