E Timor: Task Force Asks UNAMET To Prepare Campaign Regulation

Dili, Aug 5 (ANTARA)-The head of the Ballot Organizers Task Force,
Agus Tarmidzi, on Thursday asked the United Nations Mission in
East Timor (UNAMET) to draw up a regulation for the campaign
period.

"UNAMET has to draw up a regulation providing guidance to campaign
participants," he said after holding a regular meeting at the
local police station.

According to him, all parties, including the two rival groups, are
allowed to launch a peaceful campaign on the acceptance or
rejection of a wide-ranging autonomy offered by the Indonesian
government.

He also hoped under such regulation, all parties would avoid
conflicts or resorting to violence.

Regarding possible conflicts during the campaign period, Agus
said, it has become a particular concern of all parties in this
area.

He also called on the people not to bring sharp weapons on the day
of the direct ballot.

At the same place, East Timor Deputy Police Commander Col. Maufi
Sahudji said that the situation in the former Portuguese territory
was favorable, and he has prepared his men to safeguard the
campaigns and popular consultation.
