Protesters throw rocks at Australian embassy in East TimorABOUT 100 protesters in East Timor have thrown rocks at the Australian embassy, with police responding with tear gas as a spying row intensifies.
The protesters, mostly students and young Timorese rights activists, carried banners reading "Australia is a thief" and "Australia has no morals", an AFP correspondent said.
The demonstrators, calling themselves the Movement Against Timor Sea Occupation, shouted
"Australia, imperialist, capitalist!", and "Australia is a thief of world oil".
"The Australian leaders do not respect the people of Timor-Leste because it's very small, very poor," the group's spokesman Juvinal Dias said.
The embassy was guarded with just four police until a dozen more arrived and fired tear gas at demonstrators, saying they had no permit to protest.
Deputy Prime Minister Fernando La Sama de Araujo says he is "not happy" with Australia's actions, adding: "We demand the Australian government stops spying on the lawyer representing Timor-Leste."http://www.news.com.au/world/protesters-throw-rocks-at-australian-embassy-in-eas...
