Tear gas fired as protests enter second day
Bangkok Post
|September 17, 2025
East Timor police fired tear gas yesterday at protesters railing for the second day against a plan to buy new official cars for lawmakers, which became the latest flashpoint in one of the poorest nations in Southeast Asia.
-
More than 2,000 people - mostly students from several universities in the capital Dili - gathered near the National Parliament, according to an AFP journalist, to protest the plan to procure cars for each of the 65 members of parliament.
The demonstration, which began peacefully, turned violent when police fired tear gas after some protesters hurled rocks towards them.
It followed a similar protest on Monday, which prompted several political parties to announce they would ask parliament to cancel the purchase.
