- Description
- Britain is calling on Panama’s drug-running dictator, General Manuel Noriega to quit following this week’s sham elections. The Foreign Office says there is no doubt the opposition were the overwhelming victors, and the General’s decision to declare the poll null and void shows a blatant disregard for the electoral process. John Alcock has been watching the day’s events.
