Panama: Activists plan to march in Panama City on June 6
Activists plan to march from Parque Belisario Porras to Palacio de las Garzas in Panama City, Panama, June 6. Localized disruptions likely.
Members of the Union of Construction Workers of Panama (Sindicato Unico Nacional de Trabajadores de la Industria de la Construccion y Similares, SUNTRACS) plan to march in Panama City on June 6. Participants will gather at Plaza Porras and march to Palacio de las Garzas in Casco Antiguo at 16:00. The purpose of the action is to demand that the government reopen the activists' bank accounts.
Localized disruptions to businesses, public transport, and public services are likely near the march. Police will likely deploy to monitor the march and may move to disperse protesters, which could prompt confrontations. Protesters could block roads in the march route.
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Seek alternative routes to circumvent areas affected by protests. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
