Incident report # 1

On Tuesday 4^th November, 2008 at 1345 hrs Timor Leste Police received a telephone call about a fighting incident at the area behind Santa Cruz cemetery. The caller identified himself as Jose Lopes and stated he lives in a blue house at the rear of the cemetery.  He stated he could hear loud shouting and screaming from an area to the south of the cemetery where cock fighting is regularly held.  A Timor Leste Police patrol using call sign Dili-12 was immediately dispatched to the location and arrived at 1356 hrs.

Follow Up Report # 1

Upon arrival, Dili-12 was met by Jose Lopes who pointed to a large group of males who were fighting at the entrance of Santa Cruz cemetery.  Dili 12 immediately requested that a second police unit attend to assist.  The second unit, Dili 14 arrived at 1403 hrs.

The two patrols attempted to separate the males involved in the fight, however one male ignored police and punched a second male in the face five times using his right fist.  The offending male is described as being 162cm tall, long dark curly hair in a ponytail, tattoo of a dragon on his right forearm, wearing a red t-shirt and black shorts with brown sandals.  His name is Francisco Soares.  Dili-12 arrested him and placed him in the rear of the police vehicle.  He was taken to Dili watch house where he was kept until 0800 hrs the next morning. 

The victim Julius Ximines, aged 24 years is described as being 160cm tall, short black hair, black moustache, wearing a blue shirt and blue denim jeans.  He received bruising and swelling to the left side of his face and forehead and a cut to his right cheek which was bleeding.  At 1515 hrs a police forensic unit attended the scene and collected samples of blood on the ground, weapons used and items of clothing worn by persons involved in the fight. 

Follow Up Report # 2

At 0915 hrs on 5^th November Julius Ximines attended Dili Police Station and made a statement.  He advised that he attended the Santa Cruz cemetery around lunch time on 4^th November to watch the cock fighting.  He drank about five cans of beer.  About 30 minutes later he heard some males yelling at each other.  He moved closer to see what was happening and a male with a tattoo of a dragon on his arm yelled at him ‘get out of here or I’ll hit you’.  The male then punched him in the face five times.  Julius Ximines did not know the name of the male and had never seen him before.  Julius later attended Dili Hospital where he received 10 stitches to a cut on his right cheek.  Police took photographs of the injuries on his face. Enquiries are continuing in relation to this investigation.

“Monrovia Freeport”

 Situation report # 01.  

The UN Security Council Resolution 1509, which was adopted on 19.09.2003 called for the immediate restructuring of police and other security services, maintenance of law and order by an interim police force, eventual deployment of a newly trained national police force. The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) was also requested to monitor the activities of the interim police force and help to develop and implement police training programs. The Monrovia Freeport harbor was officially opened in 1948 and played one of the major roles for the Liberian National budget.  The Liberia Seaport Police is headed by the Director, who is appointed by the President of the Republic of Liberia. The Director of the Monrovia Free Port has three Deputies, Chief of Patrol, Senior Inspector and Task Force Commander. The original name of Monrovia Free Port police was “Port Guard”, which was later changed to “Safety Security Department”. Since 1997, security service was restructured and named “Liberia Seaport Police”. The role of the Liberia Seaport Police is to ensure personal and property protection within the premises of the National Port. The Free Port police have executive power for investigation and arresting of criminal offenders. The Liberia Seaport Police is also responsible for the other ocean Liberian ports called Buchanan, Greenville and Harper.

Follow up Report # 02.

The UNMIL International Police Service (IPS) team commenced its duties at the Freeport of Monrovia on 01.08.04 with the strength of six IPS officers. The IPS met full support from the Freeport Management and the Liberia Seaport Police Commander. Two IPS officers were assigned to monitor, instruct and advice the Immigration bureau and two were assigned for the Customs and Health agency. One IPS officer was assigned a task to establish communication and liaise with the Ghana military battalion, which is actually providing security at the gates to the Monrovia Freeport. The IPS team after first three days concluded, that the current situation in the Freeport area reflects a complex of problems. The Freeport Monrovia police has very limited training and very poorly equipped. The IPS team requested UN Head Quarters to increase its manpower at the Monrovia Free Port by adding fourteen more IPS officers with the seaport related experience.

Follow up Report # 03.
