International call for LTTE to surrender and spare Tamil civilians from harm

Описание: As the Sri Lankan government is on the brink of crushing the LTTE militarily, there is world wide concern for the civilians caught in the middle as LTTE is holding them as a human shield. The SL government has designated combat free zones and repeatedly asked the LTTE to free the innocent civilians to move to those areas to no avail. Now the international community, especially the US, UK and EU are joining in on the SL government calls to ask LTTE to surrender and avoid a disasterous end for the LTTE and some civilian hostages. It is time that LTTE release these hostages and avert a major humanitarian disaster. After repeated calls for the civilians to move to safe zones, now the government cannot 100% guarantee collateral as this decisive phase of the war is excuted.
