East Timor police clash with protesters over plan to buy vehicles for MPs
DILI: East Timor police on Tuesday clashed for a second day with protesters angry over a plan to buy SUVs for lawmakers in one of southeast Asia’s poorest nations, whose leader issued a rebuke over the violence. Demonstrators in the capital Dili burned tires, a government vehicle near the parliament building and hurled rocks toward the officers, who responded with tear gas. The over 2,000 protesters — mostly university students from the capital — gathered near the National Parliament to oppose a plan to procure Toyota Prado SUVs for each of the 65 members of parliament.
