Descriptions

The World Tamil Movement was created in 1986 and became a known and leading front organization for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Canada. The leadership of the WTM acts at the direction of the LTTE and has been instrumental in fundraising in Canada on behalf of the LTTE. WTM representatives canvas for donations amongst the Canadian Tamil population, and have been involved in acts of intimidation and extortion to secure funds. The WTM has not been involved in recent terrorist plots, however the group still plays a facilitating role for LTTE’s terrorist activities through fundraising on behalf of the LTTE.
