The security situation in the country as a whole has been
stable, although Viqueque remains tense following the shootings on Sunday.
Today in Dili, UNPol conducted 43 patrols and attended a
total of five incidents. At around 0730hrs a student was assaulted at Balide
Senior High School. Three hours later, UNPol received a report of a group of
about 50 - 60 locals approaching a house in Fomento armed with machetes and
darts. A Formed Police Unit was quickly dispatched and dispersed the group. At
1222 hrs, UNPol received a report of a fight between two groups at Bairo Pite
junction. When officers arrived, the two groups dispersed. There were no
injuries or damage to property.
UNPol is continuing its investigation into the alleged
murders that took place in Viqueque last Sunday. Officers from the Major Crime
Investigation Unit are working with forensics experts and other officers from
the National Investigation Unit who arrived on the scene today.
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.
