UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 16 March 2007



The situation in Dili has remained relatively stable over the past 24 hours.

Today, the prompt response by UNPoL to a report of rock throwing in Biro Pite ensured that the situation was brought under control without any arrest or injury.

There were four separate attempts made late yesterday evening and early this morning to gain entry to the World Food Programme warehouse in Bebora. The first incident was brought under control by UNPoL who was working with POR-FPU. Eighteen (18) people were arrested.

The second incident occurred just after midnight. Two arrests were made. Shortly after, the third attempt was made by another 20 people. POR-FPU and PAK-FPU attended this and three arrests were made. The last attempt was made after an hour and dealt with by POR-FPU. A further two persons were arrested, bringing the total number of arrests to 25.

The Police advise that you should avoid traveling during the night to the most affected areas. Contact the police if you see anything suspicious or any kind of problems, and avoid remaining near any disturbances. Call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
