By Colombo Telegraph –
In an announcement on the website of La Poste concerning the printing of stamps “representing members and symbols of the Tamil movement ‘Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’, an organization listed as terrorist by the European Union since 2006”, the French Postal Authority says “this is the first grave incident that Phil@poste has known in the printing of personalized postal stamps”.
The statement says La Poste has been the “victim of unscrupulous and manipulative customers”.
It says that in addition to written apologies, two directors, François Chalvet, Director of Sales and Marketing, and Louis Virgile, Director of Strategy and International have apologized to the Ambassador of Sri Lanka in Paris , in person on behalf of Phil@poste.
The English language translation of the full text of its statement is given below:

Thank you for acknowledging that the french postal authorities have been “victim of unscrupulous and manipulative customers”.
These customers are the Diaspora of the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka.
Spare a thought for Sri Lanka & Sri Lankans who have been ““victim of these unscrupulous and manipulative customers”. for decades. They have used these “unscrupulous and manipulative ploys” against Sr Lanka from European and North American countries misusing the Democratic Freedoms of these countries.
Please do not permit such misuse and manipulation any longer. .
