Strike call in Panama
NZPA-AP Panama City Panamanians have used church services to denounce fraud in the Presidential Election and started handing out leaflets calling for a general strike to oppose General Manuel Antonio Noriega. An Opposition leader rejected any proposals for forming a junta to replace General Noriega, saying the Opposition had won the May 7 elections and its victory should be re-
cognised. Panama’s political Opposition has urged people to stay in their homes all day tomorrow “to show the true will of the Panamanian people”. Opposition to General Noriega has become more visible since the Elections Tribunal nullified last week’s Presidential Elections and pro-Government thugs armed with pipes beat the Opposition Presidential and Vice-Presiden-tial candidates.
