In Panama City hundreds of public sector workers battled riot police outside a hospital as they demanded pay from Noriega’s government. About 12 were injured including Dallas Morning News photographer David Leeson. The government said partial salaries would be paid on a sliding scale, but many workers reported no payments and protests continued.
