LTTE, Liberation of Tamil Tiger Elam, was the deadliest terrorist organization in the world at the time who killed massive amount of Civilians, world reputed public leaders, including Rajv Gandhi and Laxman Kadirgamar, attacking and injuring Army Commander Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka and Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksha, damaging a large number of public properties including the Central Bank and the CMB Bandaranayake International Airport in country.

Even before the UK asks SL to request a suspend Brigadier Priyanka Fernando from duty or to give him a warning, Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Sri Lankan Government suspended Brigadier Priyanka Fernando from his duty with immediate effect on yesterday 6th of February 2018. 

We believe suspending Brigadier Priyanka Fernando from his position is not right and he his duty should be restored back immediately without entertaining terrorist supporters.

As a nation, As Sri Lankans around the world and all the humans across the world who respect the peace and say no to terrorism, we would like to invite you to sign this petition which will be sent to His Excellency Mithripala Sirisena, the President of Sri Lanka by looking forward for a positive feedback to restore the duty of Brigadier Priyanka Fernando.
