9 RP police hurt in Kosovo
December 23, 2007
UNITED NATIONS - Nine Filipino police officers, including one female officer, serving with the United Nations peacekeeping missions in Timor-Leste and Kosovo have been injured in three separate incidents late last month, the Philippine Mission to the United Nations said. Ambassador Hilario Davide Jr., Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that a Filipino peacekeeper was injured after he was beaten up by a mob in Timor-Leste while eight other peacekeepers were hurt in two separate vehicular accidents in Kosovo. He said that the Filipino peacekeeper in East Timor was beaten up by a mob who tried to prevent him from retrieving a motorcycle earlier reported stolen.
Quoting a report from the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), Davide said the police officer had to be evacuated to Darwin, Australia, for treatment of the injuries he sustained in the incident that took place on November 19.
