This is a broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste to
provide you with information about the security situation around the country.
The security situation across the country has generally been
calm.
Today in Dili, UNPol conducted 40 patrols and were required
to attend only one incident, a traffic accident in which nobody was
injured. Yesterday in the capital, a
Formed Police Unit responded to reports of rock throwing in Tasi Tolu, where
six men were drunk and throwing rocks at passing vehicles. The Formed Police
Unit dispersed the group using tear gas. One UNPol vehicle was slightly damaged
in the process. Separately, UNPol received reports of a detainee escaping from
Dili Watch House yesterday. He had been arrested on 17 June 2007 on various
charges. All police patrol units have been alerted to be vigilant and to
apprehend the detainee upon sight.
Yesterday in Liquica, UNPol received reports of fighting in
Lebuae between two gangs. Police arrested seven suspects and the situation is
now calm. Witnesses claim that one person was injured in the fighting, although
his injuries are not thought to be serious.
In Oecussi, PNTL arrested a suspect who was causing a
disturbance in Padiae village after his motorbike broke down crossing the Tono
river. Separately, one man received minor injuries after another man assaulted
him in Cruz village. The two had been arguing over trespassing cows.
Campaigning continues across the country today. Ten
political rallies were scheduled to take place, and as yet there have been no
reports of any associated security incidents. Similarly, there were no reports
of any incidents in connection with yesterday's campaigning.
The Police advise to avoid traveling during the night to the
most affected areas. Report any suspicious activities and avoid traveling the
areas affected by disturbances. Call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
