மெல்பேர்ன் கைதுகளைத் தொடர்ந்து சிட்னியில் தமிழர் ஒருவர் கைது செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளார்.

A SYDNEY man has been charged with multiple terrorism charges over alleged links with the Sri Lankan terrorist organisation the Tamil Tigers.

The 41-year-old was arrested this morning as part of an ongoing investigation by Australian Federal Police.

He is due to appear at Sydney's Central Local Court and is expected to be extradited to Victoria at a later date.

He has been charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation, providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation and making an asset available to a proscribed entity.

The charges bring maximum prison terms of 10, 25 and five years respectively, if convicted.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Mick Keelty said the joint terrorism team from Victoria Police and the AFP arrested the man in Sydney.

"He was charged in connection with two earlier arrests in May this year to do with raising money for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the (LTTE) terrorist group," Mr Keelty told Southern Cross Radio.

"The counter-terrorism team will be seeking his extradition to Melbourne."

Mr Keelty said the man in question was from Toongabbie in Sydney's inner-west.

He said the charges related to fundraising after the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami which crippled communities throughout southern Asia.

"This is to do with fundraising activities that occurred after the tsunami as you might recall and that money was channelled into the LTT in Sri Lanka," Mr Keelty said.

The Sydney man's arrest follows the Melbourne court appearances of Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, of Mt Waverley, and Sivarajah Yatahavan, 36, of Vermont South, who were denied bail on May 8 over terrorism offences.

The men were charged with being members of a terrorist organisation, providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation and making funds available to a terrorist organisation.

The men allegedly used the Melbourne-based Tamil Coordination Committee to raise funds for the Tamil Tigers under the guise of fundraising for tsunami relief.

It is alleged they bought equipment of the type used in terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.

The men were remanded in custody until July 24 for a committal mention at the same court.

Sydney man accused of Tamil Tigers' link

Tuesday Jul 10 14:21 AEST

A western Sydney man is the third person to be arrested in Australia over links to an alleged terrorist organisation, Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers.

Arumugam Rajeevan, 40, was arrested in Sydney on Tuesday morning and will be extradited to Victoria following a joint investigation between the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Victoria Police.

The incident follows the appearance in Melbourne courts in May of two men who are being held on terrorism charges.

Rajeevan has been charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation, providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation and making funds available to a proscribed entity.

If proven, the charges attract maximum prison terms of 10, 25 and five years respectively.

AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty earlier said the charges related to fundraising after the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, which crippled communities throughout southern Asia.

"He was charged in connection with two earlier arrests in May this year to do with raising money for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the (LTTE) terrorist group," Mr Keelty told Southern Cross Radio.

"This is to do with fundraising activities that occurred after the tsunami as you might recall and that money was channelled into the LTTE in Sri Lanka," Mr Keelty said.

Rajeevan, who holds a Victorian driver's licence, appeared briefly in Sydney's Central Local Court for an interstate extradition hearing.

His defence lawyer, Phillip Boulten SC, consented to the order for Rajeevan to appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Dressed in a business suit, Rajeevan, of Old Toongabbie in Sydney's west, appeared calm during the brief proceedings.

Mr Boulten said his client would comply with the extradition order and "do anything to facilitate the course of justice".

Details of the charges allege Rajeevan has been a member of the Tamil Tigers in Melbourne and elsewhere since July 2004 and made funds available to the group, which have been collected in Australia since December 2002.

The Sydney man's arrest follows the Melbourne court appearances of Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, of Mt Waverley, and Sivarajah Yatahavan, 36, of Vermont South, who were denied bail on May 8 over terrorism offences.

Supporters of the Tamil Tigers say they are not a terrorist organisation, but a secessionist movement.

Tamil supporter 'no terrorist', says family

David King

July 11, 2007

ARUMUGAM Rajeevan's family and friends have conceded he was a supporter of the Tamil people and said he raised money for humanitarian causes in Sri Lanka, but they rejected the allegation that he was a terrorist.

Mr Rajeevan, a financial planner who moved to Sydney from Melbourne two years ago, yesterday became the third Australian man charged with terrorism offences related to the alleged funnelling of money to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

The 40-year-old Sydney father of two was arrested after a joint Australian Federal Police and Victorian Police anti-terrorism investigation and faces a jail sentence of up to 25 years if he is convicted.

His wife yesterday spoke to The Australian on condition that she would not be named.

"Because there are so many killings going on, he just supports the Tamil people," she said of her husband. However, she added, she did not know much about his "social world".

Mr Rajeevan was arrested at 6.30am in his western Sydney home by AFP officers and charged with three offences.

He is charged under Australian laws with being a member of a terrorist organisation (the LTTE) and providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation. He is charged under the Charter of the United Nations Act with making funds available to the LTTE. Details of the charges allege Mr Rajeevan was a member of the Tamil Tigers in Melbourne and elsewhere since July 2004 and made funds available to the group since December 2002.

He appeared before Sydney's Central Local Court yesterday, where he consented to his extradition to Melbourne. His barrister, Phillip Boulten SC, told the court Mr Rajeevan had waived any objection to the extradition and would do all he could to "facilitate the course of justice."

Mr Rajeevan's arrest follows the Melbourne arrest of Melbourne men Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, of Mt Waverley, and Sivarajah Yatahavan, 36, of Vermont South.

The two men were charged with being members of a terrorist organisation, providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation, and making funds available to a terrorist organisation.

The men allegedly used the Melbourne-based Tamil Co-ordination Committee to raise funds for the LTTE under the guise of fundraising for tsunami relief.

Balasingham Prabhakharan, who runs 24-hour Tamil Radio in Sydney, told The Australian he knew Mr Rajeevan though charity fundraisers and said the Tamil community had been shocked by the arrest of a "young guy with a young family." "I know him as a person involved in charity work and humanitarian work."

The Tamil Tigers have been fighting for two decades for an independent homeland in the north and east of Sri Lanka.

During the bloody civil war, they have used guerilla and terror tactics including suicide bombings that have since been copied by other terrorist organisations, including al-Qa'ida.

Mrs Rajeevan told The Australian 10 AFP officers had come to their home on May 1 with a search warrant and said they had taken documents, passports, a computer - which was later returned - and mobile phones.

Mr Rajeevan is expected to appear in Melbourne Magistrate's court today.

Man accused of giving funds to Tamil Tigers

Dylan Welch and AAP

July 11, 2007

A SYDNEY man has been extradited to Melbourne to face court over alleged links to the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers.

The arrest yesterday morning is the third in a joint investigation by the Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police.

Arumugam Rajeevan, who will turn 41 tomorrow, was charged with being a member of, and supplying money and assets to, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, commonly known as the Tamil Tigers. The ethnic rebel group has been waging a war against the Sri Lankan government since 1981.

Mr Rajeevan is alleged to have committed the offences in 2004. He appeared yesterday in Central Local Court, where a request for an extradition order to Victoria was heard. Mr Rajeevan, of Old Toongabbie, sat quietly while his counsel, Phillip Boulten, consented to the order for his client to appear in Melbourne Magistrate's Court tomorrow.

Mr Boulten said Mr Rajeevan would comply with the extradition order and "do anything to facilitate the course of justice".

Yesterday's arrest came more than two months after two Melbourne men, Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, and Sivarajah Yathavan, 36, were arrested during raids in Melbourne and Sydney. They were also charged with being members of and supporting the Tamil Tigers.

Mr Rajeevan will appear in court in Melbourne tomorrow.

Suspect faces court over Tamil 'funds'

Ben Doherty

July 11, 2007

A SYDNEY man will face the Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning over allegations that he funnelled tsunami relief money to Sri Lankan separatist group the Tamil Tigers.

Arumugam Rajeevan, 41, was extradited to Victoria after being arrested in Sydney yesterday morning. He faces charges of being a member of a terrorist organisation, providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation, and making an asset available to a proscribed entity.

The charges attract maximum prison terms of 10, 25 and five years respectively.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, are fighting for an independent homeland for Sri Lanka's Tamil minority in the north and east of the island nation. The group is known to use guerilla and terrorist tactics, and pioneered suicide bombings.

Fighting between the LTTE and Sri Lankan armed forces has killed more than 70,000 people since the 1980s.

Appearing in Sydney Local Court yesterday, Rajeevan did not contest the application to extradite him to Victoria. His lawyer, Phillip Boulten, SC, said his client would comply with the extradition order and "do anything to facilitate the course of justice".

In May, Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, of Mount Waverley, and Sivarajah Yathavan, 36, of Vermont South, were arrested on charges of providing support to the LTTE.

It was alleged Vinayagamoorthy was a senior member of the group, with access to more than $500,000 despite being unemployed. Police allege he transferred $240,000 to Malaysian bank accounts and that he bought $97,000 worth of electronic transmitters — of a type used in acts of terrorism in Sri Lanka — between September 2003 and October 2005.

His lawyer, Rob Stary, said that Vinayagamoorthy had only ever provided humanitarian relief.

Yathavan, a Tamil newspaper editor, is alleged to have bought 185 marine hydraulic steering units, similar to those used in a suicide attack that killed 17 Sri Lankan soldiers in May last year.

The pair will face the Melbourne Magistrates Court on July 24.

In May, Sri Lanka's Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Palitha Kohona, said up to 30 per cent of the LTTE's external funding was raised in Australia.

Court hears Australian met Tamil leader

Wed 11 Jul 2007, 8:41 GMT

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An Australian man facing terrorism charges for being a member of Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers had met the Tiger's leader and controlled A$600,000 (254,000 pounds) sent to the rebels, a prosecutor told a court on Wednesday.

Arumugam Rajeevan, who was arrested in Sydney on Tuesday, appeared in Melbourne's Magistrate Court on Wednesday to formally face terrorism charges.

Rajeevan is charged with "intentionally being a member of a terrorist organisation", "providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation" and "making an asset available to a proscribed entity".

The charges carry maximum prison terms of 25, 10, and five years respectively.

Two other Australians appeared in a Melbourne court in May, charged with being members of the Tamil Tigers and offering the rebel group support using 2004 Asian tsunami relief funds.

Prosecutor Mark Dean told the court that Rajeevan, an accountant, controlled A$600,000 collected by the Melbourne-based Tamil Coordinating Committee, which was sent to the Tamil Tigers, reported Australian Associated Press (AAP) from the court.

Rajeevan was a signatory to the coordinating committee's bank account, said the prosecutor.

In October 2003, Rajeevan went to Sri Lanka and met with the Tiger's reclusive leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, Dean said.

Prabhakaran has been convicted in absentia for the murder of former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 and a bombing in Colombo in 1996, which killed nearly 100 people.

The Tamil Tigers have waged a two-decade long civil war in Sri Lanka aimed at carving out an independent state for minority Tamils in the island nation.

Some 322 Tigers who have blown themselves up in suicide bombings since 1987, killing hundreds of mostly soldiers in a campaign for a separate state in the north and east.

Rajeevan did not apply for bail, but his lawyer Sam Norton foreshadowed an application next week. The two other men charged with being members of the Tamil Tigers have been denied bail.

Magistrate Gerard Lethbridge adjourned the case to August 23.

Nineteen Australians already face terrorism charges.

Australia, a staunch U.S. ally, has never suffered a major peacetime attack on home soil, but tougher anti-terrorism laws were imposed after the September 11, 2001, hijacked airliner attacks on the United States.

Photo seized of 'terrorist' with Tamil leader

Natasha Robinson

July 12, 2007

A SYDNEY financial planner accused of being an international terrorist sent $600,000 cash raised in Melbourne to the outlawed Tamil Tigers and met with the fugitive leader of the Sri Lankan terrorist organisation.

A Melbourne court heard yesterday the 40-year-old was signatory to a bank account set up by a Melbourne-based organisation, the Tamil Co-ordinating Committee, through which money was funnelled to Sri Lanka.

Father of two Arumugam Rajeevan, a sworn member of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, is the third Australian charged with terror offences linked to the Sri Lankan conflict.

Prosecutor Mark Dean SC told the magistrates court that Mr Rajeevan had travelled to Sri Lanka to meet with the terror group's top guerilla commander, Velupillai Prabhakaran, who is accused of masterminding the assassination of former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.

Mr Rajeevan faces charges of membership of a terrorist organisation, intentionally making funds available to a terrorist organisation, and making an asset available to a proscribed organisation.

He was not required to enter a plea yesterday.

His arrest follows that of his two co-accused, Aruran Vinayagamoorthy, 32, and Sivarajah Yatahavan, 36, in May. The two men were charged with providing financial and material support to the LTTE under the pretence of tsunami relief fundraising.

The arrests came after two years of surveillance by the Australian Federal Police monitoring Tamil activities in Australia.

Mr Rajeevan's court appearance followed his extradition from Sydney, where he was arrested on Tuesday. His lawyer, Sam Norton, said his client would apply for bail next week.

The arrest has sparked anger among Sri Lankan Tamils in Australia, who argue that the LTTE is fighting a legitimate struggle for power on behalf of an oppressed racial group.

The LTTE has been waging a bloody civil war in northern Sri Lanka for more than 20 years, employing guerilla techniques, such as suicide bombings, that have been emulated by al-Qa'ida.

Mr Dean told magistrate Gerard Lethbridge yesterday that a photograph of Mr Rajeevan posing with Prabhakaran had been seized in the accused man's home after a police raid.

Mr Rajeevan had accounting qualifications and was "closely involved" in the channelling of funds raised from Melbourne-based Tamils to the LTTE in Sri Lanka, Mr Dean said. "The defendant through the activities of the Tamil Co-ordinating Committee has been involved in the collection and distribution of funds to the LTTE," Mr Dean said.

"During the relevant period, he can be actively connected to approximately $600,000 in cash being registered through that account."

The three men will face a joint committal hearing to begin on September 10.
