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 has been calm, but the situation in Viqueque remains tense.

Today in Dili, UNPol attended three incidents. None of the incidents were major. They included a rock fight between two groups in Kampung Tuti. The fighting stopped upon the arrival of the police, who then mediated in a dialogue between the leaders of the two groups.

A demonstration involving approximately 100 people also took place beside the Government Palace today. The crowd was demonstrating against the cutting of trees along the side of the road that leads by the Palace. The demonstration remained peaceful.

Yesterday in Dili, police made five arrests: three for rock throwing in Kampung Tuti and Comoro, one for assault in Kampung Tuti, and one person was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in Pantai Kelapa.

Yesterday in Viqueque, police received a report of unidentified assailants setting two houses on fire the previous evening in the Liacidi area. A patrol team was sent to investigate. There are no reports of any injuries, and the motives behind the attack are not yet known

In Uaniuma village in Los Palos yesterday, rocks were thrown in at houses in Matu Pinto. Police arrived on the scene and discovered that the damage to the properties was not serious and that there were no injuries.
