Dear All,
I would like to bring to your attention an incident
that happened yesterday in the vicinity of Timor Hotel.
A female took a
taxi and the taxi driver attempted to assault her, in order to escape
his intentions, she got out of the taxi while it was moving. Luckily she
only sustained light injuries and was able to leave the hospital after a
few hours (I have confirmed this personally).
This is not the first
report of such an incident, and both Timorese and Foreign women have
reported to have experienced taxi drivers attempting to assault them.
Therefore please disseminate this message as widely as possible and warn
women to try and avoid taxis, and if this is not possible, do not get
into a taxi alone and especially not after dark.
Please note however
that yesterdays incident happened at lunch time.
With kind regards
Charlemagne
