Environmentalists Speak Out Against "Lobster Law"
(Panama-Guide) - TVN Noticias - Alida Spadafora, of the National Association for the Conservation of Nature, warned that Article 23 of the Act referred to as the "9 in 1" or the "Lobster Law" - threatens democracy and leads to dictatorship in the country. The article in question does not allow for the preventative detention nor the separation from office for a police officer who causes the death of a person. Spadafora said she does not understand how this government that proclaims the horrors of the years of military dictatorship in Panama can promote this law.
