[Panama] Riots: Violent demonstration

On 21 March 2025, in Panama City, Panama, students of the University of Panama demonstrated against the reforms to the Social Security Fund (CSS), blocking the Transistmica Highway, setting tires on fire. The students threw rocks and other objects at the police that responded firing tear gas and rubber bullets. One police officer also fired warning shots with its service weapon. The incident occurred amid nationwide demonstrations opposing the reforms, which many fear will lead to lower pensions and potentially pave the way for the privatization of benefits. In response to the unrest, the university suspended academic and administrative activities for the rest of the day.
