East Timor: Demonstrators Block Dili Traffic over Fuel Hikes 7
Jun-11:34
Taxi and van drivers blocked traffic in Dili with their vehicles and
tried to force their way into the central administrative building
Wednesday to protest recent fuel price hikes. Numbering about 200, the
demonstrators agreed to disband after a delegation was received by UN
officials and promised another meeting Thursday. It was the second such
demonstration in the East Timorese capital since Friday. One youth was
arrested after kicking the head of a UN policeman, an American, when the
crowd tried to force its way into the government building.
