Jurists Commission Clears U S of Panama Charges
The International Commission of Jurists in Geneva cleared the United States of Panamanian charges that American troops and police violated human rights during January riots in the Canal Zone. It found excessive force may have been used to quell rioting and sniper fire, and criticized Panamanian authorities for lax actions and inflammatory broadcasts. Twenty-two people were killed and about 325 injured. The unrest followed disputes over flag flying in the Canal Zone. The commission, a private body of legal professionals, was invited by Panama’s National Bar Association to probe human rights violations.
