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 been generally
calm, although warning shots were fired by the International Stabilisation
Forces (ISF) and F-FDTL in an incident yesterday evening in Dili. The security
situation in Ermera also remains tense.
Yesterday evening in the Caicoli area of Dili, a group of
youths threw rocks at F-FDTL personnel near the Timor Telecom compound. The
F-FDTL personnel responded by firing warning shots into the air. The ISF
received reports of shots being fired, and arrived near the scene to
investigate. In the process of securing the telecom compound, the ISF believed
that they were coming under fire and also fired two warning shots. There were
no injuries. The ISF, F-FDTL and UNMIT are all conducting investigations into
the incident.
In Ermera yesterday, the house of a 50-year-old man was
attacked by a group of people in Ermera Vila. One television set and several
windows were broken by rocks, and the man sustained a minor injury to his hand.
UNPol and a Formed Police Unit responded
nd brought the situation under control. The suspects have been
identified, and police are investigating.
Today in Dili, UNPol conducted 44 patrols and were required
to attend four incidents, including a traffic accident and a minor assault.
None were serious.
Campaigning continues across the country today. Eighteen
campaign events were scheduled for today, and there have been no reports of any associated security incidents
as yet.
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.
This has been a daily broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste,
