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.
