The United States Department of Justice is seeking a 15-year prison sentence for a Canadian Tamil man who pleaded guilty in a United States district court to charges of conspiring to provide material support to Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger terrorist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam , a proscribed organization in the U.S.
In a sentencing report filed in United States Eastern District Court in Brooklyn, New York, U.S. attorney Loretta Lynch has said that the Ontario resident Ramanan Mylvaganam had committed a gravely serious offence by attempting to procure equipment for the Tamil rebels, Canadian daily National Post reported.
