On February 27, police raided indigenous Naso Teribe communities in Panama and arrested several anti-dam organizers.

Naso communitites have been resisting the entry of machinery to build the Bonyic hydroelectric dam in their territory. The dam is planned to be placed inside the Protector de los Palos Forest, right next to La Amistad International Park. None of the indigenous peoples that would be affected have been consulted by the Panamanian government.

Bonyic is one of four dams currently planned for the region.
