Suli lies in the eastern part of Ambon island, south-west of the islam village of Tulehu, whereas the islam village of Tial lies to the east and the large christian village of Passo lies to the west. The governor declared on local TV this evening, that some tenseness was perceived in that area since one or two days before, so that additional security forces had already been sent there. However, these could not prevent that several dozens of houses were destroyed by mortirs. Several hundreds of people fled to Passo. No casulaties have been reported up to now. From Saparua no fighting was reported. Intensive razzia on weapons is underway. This morning a crowd of young protestant christians held a peace demonstration at the government office building in Ambon. They brought along with them three empty coffins and a shroud (this latter article probably symbolizing a muslim victim). They chanted religious songs and asked for immediate U.N. intervention to put an end to the victimizing of the Moluccas by wicked national and local politicians.
