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 Dili has been relatively calm.
Today in Dili, UNPol conducted a total of 53 patrols and
were required to attend only four incidents. One was a fight between approximately
30 people in Balide. UNPol attended and mediated between the two groups. The
situation is now calm.
Yesterday in Dili, UNPol received reports that approximately
500 people from the IDP camp and Bidau Toko Baru were provoking each other at
Dili Hospital. UNPol, Formed Police Units and the International Stabilisation
Force arrived at the scene and dispersed the crowd. Two people were arrested
and there were no injuries.
Two nights ago in Gleno Market, Ermera, a violent
confrontation took place between rival political groups. One person was injured
in the knee by a steel dart, before police brought the situation under control.
In a separate incident yesterday, a rock fight took place between two groups of
youths near Perunas in Ermera. UNPol, Portuguese Formed Police Units and PNTL
intervened and managed to disperse the crowds using tear gas. There were no
injuries, but the situation remains tense.
Yesterday in Tirilolo, Baucau, seven people were arrested
for vandalizing and stealing telephone wires, and one was arrested in
connection for receiving stolen items. In Liquica, UNPol and PNTL are
monitoring the situation in Faulara where villagers have expressed concerns
about being attacked.
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.
