Indigenous protesters are holding several government officials hostage, including deputies and the Director of MOP for Chiriqui
The road to El Lajero and Cerro Puerco remain closed since yesterday. The hostages report that they have not been fed or given water for several hours and their conditions are not good.
They are protesting now for poor road conditions that lead to Cerro Puerco.

I assume that kidnapping is a crime in Panama.
NO ONE should be above the law though. This is just WRONG in so many ways and trust me, it won't bring them the response they think it will. This crap has got to stop. Every time they get their panties in a twist there are road closures, etc. Just plain disrespectful to the rest of the population of Panama.
