The 2006 Crisis

This site was inspired by the events that culminated in the tragic disintegration of the rule of law in 2006. UNPol was remobilised in response to the political violence and social tensions and this is an archive of the regular security reports.

UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 18 July 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 security situation across the country has been very calm.

Today in Dili, UNPol were required to attend five incidents. None were serious. A UN car was stoned in Fatuahi, Becora, but the suspect had disappeared once the police arrived. In Bidau Santana, three youths were throwing rocks at the house of a PNTL officer. Two of the youths ran away upon the arrival of UNPol, but the third was arrested.

Yesterday in Maubisse, Ainaro district, a 25-year-old man is alleged to have threatened his family with steel darts. UNPol and PNTL were called to the scene and arrested the suspect. In Saibobu village, Viqueque district, a 65-year-old man was found hanged in house.  Police are investigating, but the cause of death is thought to be suicide.

UNPol, PNTL and the ISF are working together to provide security to the people of Timor-Leste. The UNPol Election Security Plan is currently in Phase Four, the post-polling phase. UNPol, PNTL and Formed Police Units remain deployed and are on stand-by for any post-polling clashes or victory processions. The International Stabilisation Forces are also on stand-by, ready to be deployed on request.

The police would also like to remind the people of Timor-Leste that they require valid driving licenses before they are allowed to drive on the roads. All vehicles should also display valid license plates. These measures are in place to help ensure road safety.

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.

This has been a daily broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste, for the people of Timor-Leste.
