Office of Provedor Opens Door To The Public

The Office of the Provedor for Human Rights will be open to the public on March 20. The President of the Provedor, Sebastiao Dias Ximenes, reportedly said that as of this date, each citizen can present their complaints which will be followed up with an investigation. Speaking in an information session in Baucau Ximenes said, "we already told the public that our door would be open on March 20. We would like to hold a mini campaign especially for the administrators and those in charge of the administration not only in Baucau but also in the other 12 districts. The last district would be Dili. Apart from activities like this one in Baucau, the other two groups
have gone to the districts in the South and West". He added that in order to better serve the public, the Provedor Office for Human Rights has plans to open offices in the East to cover the districts of Baucau, Lospalos,
Viqueque and Manatuto as well as to cover the areas in the South. (TP)
