UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 13 April 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 situation in Dili has been calm and there have been no major incidents.

Today, UNPol attended a total of eight incidents and made a total of 52 patrols. None of the incidents were serious.

Yesterday afternoon, the F-FDTL was escorting rice delivery trucks when several people tried to steal rice from the convoy near Dili Seaport. The F-FDTL fired two warning shots as a response. UNPol has investigated the incident and has found no evidence of any injuries.

In Ainaro, the anniversary of the founding of Martial Arts Group "KORK" was celebrated yesterday by approximately 1000 people. UNPol, Formed Police Units, and the International Stabilisation Forces monitored the celebrations, which remained peaceful.

In Maliana, an UNPol investigator is looking into the case of a PNTL officer who is accused of shooting a civilian in Suai District on 6 April. He visited the victim yesterday, who is in a stable condition.

Yesterday's Security Briefing reported a fight between the villagers from Uaitame and Afalocai on 10 April. PNTL has since taken five people into custody, and the village chiefs of Matahoi, Uaitame and Afaloicai have met and agreed that there will be no more fighting.

The Elections Security Plan is currently in phase four, which covers the period after elections. UNPOL and PNTL are remaining in their allocated sectors until after the results are announced. Their tasks include transporting sensitive ballot materials and responding to any unrest connected with the declaration of results.

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.
