The situation in Dili has remained relatively stable with no
reports of serious security incidents taking place last night or today.
UNPOL officers assisted by the PNTL have increased numbers
on the streets of Dili today due to the verdict in the case of the Former
Minister for the Interior Rogerio Lobato. The area around the Court of Appeal
and across Dili has remained stable. Elsewhere in Dili today there were two
attacks on warehouses in Bebonuk this morning. Both were brought under control
by the Malaysian and Portuguese formed police units. There were no injuries and
minimal looting.
Yesterday, scattered incidents took place, but none were
major. In two separate incidents, rocks were thrown at the Bebor and Bebonuk
warehouses. UNPOL responded quickly to bring the situation under control, and
seven people in total were arrested.
Also yesterday there were reports of gunshots from a house
in Taibessi. UNPol and the ISF responded quickly and there were no injuries.
The gunshots were fired into the air by FFDTL who were providing armed security
for nearby Government officials.
The SRSG requests that the people of Timor-Leste maintain
their peace and calm, and cooperate fully with the security authorities.
The Police advise that you 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 staying near any 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
