provide you with information about the security situation around the country.
The security situation across the country has generally been
calm. However, the situation in Dili remains tense.
There were fewer disturbances in Dili last night compared to
the night before, but police still had to respond to incidents of rock throwing
and tyre burning, mostly in the Comoro and Balide areas. After 0130hrs, the
situation returned to normal. A total of eight UN vehicles were damaged in the
disturbances.
Yesterday, two people were arrested in Becora on charges of
causing public disturbances.
Today in Dili district, UNPol were required to attend only
three incidents. None were serious; they were a theft, a minor traffic
aaccident and a small dispute over rice distribution.
Yesterday in Ermera, a small Christmas hut near the Gleno
Market area was burned to the ground at around 2317hrs. Nobody was injured, and
one person was arrested on suspicion of causing the fire.
In Baucau, a 10-year-old child who had been missing since 21
July 2007 was found not far from his home in Buruma village. The child claims
that he lost his way and is in good health.
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
