The European Court of Justice on Tuesday rejected a request that the activities of the former rebel group the LTTE not be classified as "terrorist acts," the Jurist reported.
The arguments were proffered as support for four individuals who had their assets frozen due to the accusation that they were financing acts of terror by financing the Tamil Tigers. The court ruled that the freezing of assets was acceptable holding that the acts of the Tamil Tigers were admissible as terrorist acts.
Terror Lists have come under fire in the last several years for violating the basic human rights of those affected by the blacklisting. Last year the ECJ Advocate General Eleanor Sharpston released two opinions arguing that Hamas and the Tamil Tigers should be removed JURIST reported.
