Falintil Tears Up Red-And-White Flag In Liquica

Dili, E Timor, July 19 (ANTARA) - The pro-independence group,
Falintil, which is also an armed wing of the Fretilin
disturbance group, tore up a red-and-white Indonesian flag
hoisted in public school in Leorema village, Liquica district as
voters registration for the autonomy ballot began last Friday,
police said Monday.

Head for information of the provincial police, Widodo, said the
Falintil and the UN Mission in East Timor (UNAMET), which is
organizing the ballot, have objected to the hoisting of the
Indonesian flag in the school.

Widodo said the local police chief came to the school and
negotiated that the flag will be lowered at 6 p.m.

"However, at 1:30 p.m., 26 members of the Falintil lowered the
flag and ripped it into two. The red part was taken away and the
white part was thrown away," he said.

Police officers immediately conducted an investigation,
questioning witnesses and safeguarding the evidence.
