    Anton Balasingham passes away
    [TamilNet, Thursday, 14 December 2006, 14:11 GMT]
    Anton Balasingham, theoretician and political advisor of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), has passed away in London Thursday. Mr. Balasingham has been associated with the Tamil liberation struggle for more than 30 years and participated as chief negotiator on behalf of the Liberation Tigers in almost all political negotiations, beginning with the Thimpu talks in 1985.
    Mr Balasingham, 68, has been suffering from diabetes for 35 years and in the late nineties developed renal disease, for which he underwent kidney transplant.
    Commenting on his illness to TamilNet on 22 November, 2006, Mr Balasingham said that, “it is an unfortunate personal tragedy. However, when compared to the vast ocean of the collective tragedy faced by my people, my illness is merely a pebble. I am deeply sad that I am crippled by this illness, unable to contribute anything substantial towards the alleviation of the immense suffering and oppression of my people."
