Description
Thousands of Panamanians march to demand that the contract, concerning the largest open pit copper mine in Central America, be repealed.
The copper mining contract with First Quantum Minerals, a Vancouver-based company, has sparked nine days of demonstrations over the mine's potential environmental impacts as well as other terms of the deal.
Panama President Laurentino Cortizo proposed on Sunday that a referendum be held to decide whether to repeal a controversial mining contract. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
