East Timorese youths have held a second demonstration in Dili over their failure to meet a special United Nations envoy.

Police say the demonstration at Becora market in East Dili was small and non-violent and there were no arrests.

A police spokesman said three of the 48 people detained yesterday in a protest outside envoy Jamsheed Marker's hotel were still in custody, and the ten or eleven people injured remained in hospital.

Mr. Marker was scheduled to return to Jakarta today after a three-day visit to East Timor during which he met government officials and Nobel peace laureate Bishop Carlos Belo.
