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 03 December 2007



UNPol Daily Security Briefing 3 December 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 in Timor-Leste is generally calm.

Today in Dili, police attended four incidents, including a land dispute in Darlay, on the south side of the Fatuahi range. The local chief promised to resolve the dispute, and assured UNPol that he would contact them if there was any further trouble.

Last night in Dili, a 27-year-old man was attacked with a machete whilst passing through the Delta Three Comoro area where two groups were fighting. He sustained a serious wound to his head, and has been taken to Dili hospital, where he is reported to be in a stable condition.

On Sunday in Dili, UNPol and the PNTL provided security to the ceremony organised by the State to pay tribute to veteran freedom fighters. The ceremony took place without any security incidents occurring.

On Sunday in Manauto, a faulty air conditioner sparked a fire in the PNTL District Headquarters. Police managed to extinguish the fire, but not before significant damage had been done to three rooms in the building.

On Saturday, a 37-year-old man reportedly stabbed a 14-year-old girl at a party in the village of Suai Loro, Covalima, after she rejected his advances. The girl suffered a punctured lung, and was airlifted to Dili hospital by the International Security Forces (ISF). Police identified and arrested the suspect as he was attempting to flee into West Timor the following morning.

Also on Saturday in Tapo Village, Bobonaro, a woman was reported to have been assaulted by two brothers after insulting their parents. The woman is receiving treatment for her injuries in Maliana hospital, and police have arrested the two brothers.

The Campaign to End Violence Against Women is ongoing, and will run until 10 December 2007.

The police advise to avoid travelling during the night to the most affected areas. Please report any suspicious activities.  You can call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
