SRI LANKA, KILINOCHCHI : In this photo handed out by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka's rebel-held Kilinochchi, LTTE supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran makes his annual policy statement from an undisclosed location in the island's embattled north, 27 November 2006. The Tamil people of Sri Lanka have no choice but to have their own independent state, rebel chief Velupillai Prabhakaran declared, effectively ending the island's peace process.

|Portion=Portrait crop.

|Low_resolution=Yes.

|Purpose=To illustrate the article on Velupillai Prabhakaran, the longtime leader of one of the parties to the ongoing Sri Lankan Civil War.

|Replaceability=(1) As the leader of a rebel movement engaged in active hostilities, Prabhakaran is currently unlikely to be in a situation in which a freely licensed image of him could be taken. (2) It is claimed by the Sri Lankan Government (as of 18 May 2009) that Prabhakaran has been killed, which would make a freely licensed image impossible to create; if however he has not been killed, then paragraph (1) would still apply.

|other_information=As this appears to be a widely circulated propaganda image, its use on Wikipedia is unlikely to replace any original market role of the original copyrighted media.
