The 2006 Crisis

This site was inspired by the events that culminated in the tragic disintegration of the rule of law in 2006. UNPol was remobilised in response to the political violence and social tensions and this is an archive of the regular security reports.

UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 22 August 2007



 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 in Timor-Leste as a whole has been calm, although Viqueque remains tense.

Today in Dili, UNPol attended seven incidents, including two minor cases of assault and one of burglary. None of the incidents were major.

Yesterday in Dili, there were sporadic incidents of rock throwing in Santa Cruz, Bairo Pite and Comoro market, damaging two UN vehicles. No-one was injured in the attacks. Separately, one person was arrested for drunken behaviour in Fatuhada.

In Lautem yesterday, police responded to a report of arson in Kuluhun sub-village. They encountered burning tyres and a road block near the sub-village, but no sign of a house on fire. The police team also came under attack by people throwing rocks on their way back to the station. There were no injuries, but one vehicle was damaged. Police are now searching for the perpetrators.

In Ermera, a man was arrested in Gleno yesterday for possession of an illegal weapon after he was found drunk and disorderly with a large knife.

There were no reports of any criminal offences yesterday in Viqueque.

United Nations police officers in conjunction with the national police of Timor-Leste (PNTL) and the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) remain fully deployed to respond to any disturbances that may emerge.

The Police advise to avoid traveling during the night to the most affected areas. Please report any suspicious activities.  You can call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
