Oficial da UNPOL Não Autorizado a Testemunhar no Tribunal
A Missão Integrada da ONU em Timor-Leste não autorizará antigos oficiais da UNPOL a testemunharem como testemunhas num caso que está no Tribunal do Distrito de Dili em relação com eventos de 25 de Maio 2006.
“A ausência dos oficiais da UNPOL como testemunhas chave no tribunal pode prejudicar o processo judicial neste caso sério. Isso significa que a ONU não mostrou nenhuma vontade política para cumprir com as recomendações da Comissão Independente Especial de Inquérito de Outubro de 2006,” disse Timótio De Deus, Director do Programa de Monitorização do Sistema Judicial.

A UNMIT continua a dar um péssimo exemplo de desrespeito pelo tribunal que considerou sem fundamento as explicações dadas pela UNMIT para que este oficial da UNPOL testemunhasse em tribunal.
As Nações Unidas têm imunidade criminal, não se aplicando a testemunhos. A maior prova são os testemunhos diários de oficiais da UNPOL nos tribunais em Timor.
O Tribunal voltou a convocar o oficial da UNPOL que se encontra em Timor-Leste, não tendo ainda obtido qualquer resposta.

Tape prompts calls for prosecutor general's dismissal
The Southeast Asian Times
From News Reports:
Dili, October 18:
East Timor's major political party Fretilin has called on President Jose Ramos Horta to dismiss the Prosecutor General Longuinhos Monteiro following new evidence that he conspired to bring down the former Fretilin government.
The call was made after the national parliament listened to a tape recording of a mobile telephone conversation between Monteiro and two anti-Fretilin political figures. The recording was obtained by Dili newspaper Jornal Tempo Semanal which published the transcript on October 1.
Heard speaking with Monteiro were former Member of Parliament Leandro Isaac, a close ally of army rebel Alfredo Reinado, and Herminigildo "Agio" Pereria, the former chief of staff to then president Xanana Gusmao who is now prime minister.
Herminigildo Pereria is now Secretary of State for the Council of Ministers in the Gusmao government.
The United Nations Independent Special Commission of Inquiry in October last year reported that Leandro Isaac -armed with a Steyr rifle - was present during an attack on the home of army commander Brigadier General Ruak on May 24 2006 and recommended the Prosecutor General investigate 'whether Leandro Isaac had any culpable involvement in the crimes committed.'
"Prosecutor General Monteiro ignored the UN recommendation to investigate Leandro Isaac, and now we understand why," FRETILIN parliamentary leader Aniceto Guterres said yesterday.
Guterres told parliament that the intercepted phone conversation revealed Monteiro, who was appointed by former president Gusmao, had "extremely close ties to politicians involved with the 2006 crisis aimed at bringing down the Fretilin government and creating instability which resulted in almost 150,000 Timorese becoming internally displaced and nearly 6,000 homes destroyed, as well as deaths and injuries."
"Mr Longuinhos Monteiro no longer has the requisite trust to continue to perform the functions of the prosecutor general with independence, in accordance with the law and without political interference," Guterres said.
He told parliament President Ramos Horta must remove Monteiro and initiate an investigation into his role during the 2006 crisis.
He said the involvement of Herminigildo Pereria in the conversation "shows everyone that another institution of state sovereignty -the Presidency of the Republic through his Chief of Staff - was involved with groups who took action to bring down the Fretilin government."
Guterres told parliament that following publication of the transcript of the phone conversation, Prosecutor General Monteiro had abused his power and position by threatening the journalist who wrote the story and also threatening to initiate an investigation into a non-government organization which accused Monteiro of corruption.
Guterres said Monteiro had taken no action on a formal complaint by Fretilin of unlawful use of its party symbols during the recent parliamentary election.
"This case had grave consequences and prejudice for Fretilin during the election campaign and created confusion amongst the voters. But until this day, (our complaint) has not moved forward at all. Is it because the case involved a complaint by Fretilin, whom the Prosecutor General has been conspiring from the beginning to bring down?"
