Panama - Martyr's Day
January 9 is Martyr's Day in Panama. This day commemorates the memory of all people who died during the riots in 1964 caused by the conflict between Panamanian students and Canal Zone Police officers.
January 9 should have been the day of the peaceful demonstration as the answer to prohibition to fly American and Canal Zone flags outside schools, post offices, police stations and other civilian locations where it should be. Outraged by Governor Flemming's prohibition, Zonians began their demonstration with the U.S. flag. Later students of Balboa High School came out of class, raised another flag and posted guards to prevent its removal.
