Two former secretaries of Panama\u2019s National Security Council (CSN) were arrested in Panama City on the morning of Monday, January 12, for alleged participation in illegal surveillance of at least 150 politicians and public figures during the presidency of Ricardo Martinelli (2009-14).<\/p>\n

Alejandro Gar\u00faz and Gustavo P\u00e9rez, two of the five CSN directors who occupied the post during the period, were charged by the auxiliary prosecutor with violating official secrets and the right to privacy, and remain in preventative prison following initial hearings which took place on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The investigation included 11 house searches in various provinces throughout the country on early Monday morning, including the houses of both Gar\u00faz and\u00a0P\u00e9rez, in which police found high-caliber firearms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Gar\u00faz had a sub-machine gun and P\u00e9rez a minimax [pistol]. This merits preventative detention,\u2019 said a secretary from the prosecutor\u2019s Office.\u201d<\/center><\/div>\n

The current government began an administrative investigation last year into the illegal interception of telephone and internet communications during the Martinelli era. On Monday, secretary-general of the Public Ministry Rolando\u00a0Rodr\u00edguez\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0that approximately 150 people had been spied upon by the government. The list included politicians, journalists, trade unionists, businessmen, and civil society leaders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cGustavo Perez y Alejandro Gar\u00faz [sic] will spend the night in the Judicial Investigation Office.\u201d<\/center><\/div>\n

In December, local newspaper\u00a0La Prensa<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that the government had acquired long-range interception technology in 2010, enabling it to tap into computers and cell phones from a distance and record almost any content, including text messages and communications sent via applications such as WhatsApp and Blackberry Messenger.<\/p>\n

However, the new government has yet to disclose the whereabouts of the technology in question. The current secretary of the CSN,\u00a0Rolando\u00a0L\u00f3pez, filed a\u00a0legal complaint<\/a>\u00a0at the end of 2014 about his predecessor, Alejandro Gar\u00faz\u00a0\u2014 also brother-in-law of Martinelli\u00a0\u2014 for the disappearance of the powerful surveillance equipment, and for crimes against the state.<\/p>\n

L\u00f3pez alleged that\u00a0Gar\u00faz\u2019s administration failed to declare the existence of the equipment during the transition between the two administrations, and failed to register the entry of the surveillance aparatus into the country, despite the funds transferred by the National Help Program (PAN) remaining in CSN archives.<\/p>\n

PAN, a fund created to cater to the emergency needs of the poorest populations in the country, was charged with paying US$13.4 million to Israeli company MLM Protection for the eavesdropping device. Sources close to the CSN said the price was inflated,\u00a0telling<\/a>\u00a0La Prensa<\/em> that the actual price of the equipment was around $2 million.<\/p>\n

Victims Hit Back<\/h4>\n

According to the Public Ministry, now that the 150 individuals on the official list have been notified of the CSN\u2019s wrongdoing, each one will now proceed to the auxiliary prosecutor to identify the messages attributed to them. \u00a0According to\u00a0La Prensa<\/em>, the intercepted messages were stored in hundreds of\u00a0printed pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Former<\/a><\/p>\n

Former President Ernesto\u00a0P\u00e9rez Balladares, and former secretary-general of the Revolutionary Democratic Party (PRD) Mitchell Doens\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0on Monday that they had been contacted to corroborate the information. Doens\u00a0stated<\/a>\u00a0that he recognized emails and text messages that he\u2019d sent in 2010, and would be filing a legal complaint against former President Martinelli.<\/p>\n

In statements given to the\u00a0Estrella de Panam\u00e1<\/em>\u00a0Doens argued that Martelli\u2019s judicial\u00a0immunity<\/a>\u00a0as a deputy with the Central American Parliament should be removed, so that he can face charges related to the case.<\/p>\n

Another of those contacted by investigating authorities, former Foreign Minister\u00a0Samuel Lewis Navarro, stated<\/a>\u00a0that conversations he\u2019d had with \u201cimportant figures\u201d from the United States had been intercepted.<\/p>\n

\u201cDramatic\u201d Erosion of Civil Liberties<\/h4>\n

Responses from the human-rights sector were quick to come from both Jos\u00e9 Miguel Vivanco, Americas Director for Human Rights Watch (HRW), and Carolina Botero, former rapporteur for freedom of expression with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACH).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is coming to public light in Panama, thanks to judicial investigations, is serious and must be investigated to the ultimate consequences,\u201d said Vivanco<\/a>. \u201cIt reflects that senior officials of the former government were apparently violating the right to privacy of dozens of people, including politicians and members of civil societies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Botero, meanwhile, highlighted the wider ramifications of surveillance this kind. \u201cThis type of espionage has a dramatic effect on human rights,\u201d she said. \u201cFirst, there is an affectation of the right to privacy. If that expectation is lost, it damages many of the rights that must be defended in a democracy.<\/p>\n

Menalco Solis, formerly secretary of the CSN between 1990 and 1994, told the\u00a0PanAm Post<\/em> that while the practice of monitoring communications was a feature of the dictatorship of Manuel Antonio Noriega (1983-89), the new case is unprecedented in Panamanian history due to the use of new technologies , as well as the judicial investigation of those allegedly responsible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that this goes right ahead. It will be a huge task, and it will require a great degree of delicacy and courage on the part of the investigators and judges, but society is watching and expecting concrete results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Solis nevertheless called for the legal process to avoid a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d against former officials of the Martinelli administration. \u201cWe must respect the right of the accused to a strong defense, so that none of the results of this proceedings are suspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accused Protest Innocence<\/h4>\n

Both of the accused attended formal hearings on Tuesday in the auxiliary prosecutor\u2019s office in Panama City. The attorney representing\u00a0Gustavo P\u00e9rez,\u00a0Armando Fuentes, argued<\/a>\u00a0P\u00e9rez\u2019s innocence before the assembled media, and alleged a violation of due process, claiming that there existed no links between the former CSN secretary and the surveillance scheme. However, the prosecutor ruled that P\u00e9rez had to remain in preventative prison, citing its possession of evidence indicating his connection to the case.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cIn the Gar\u00faz and Perez case, they ordered their arrest before the hearing when the crime didn\u2019t permit it. Without bail, without habeas corpus, #dictatorship.\u201d<\/center><\/div>\n

Meanwhile Crist\u00f3bal Arboleda, Alejandro Gar\u00faz\u2019s attorney, insisted that the crime for which his client was being investigated didn\u2019t merit preventative detention, and that he had a license to hold the firearms found in his home.<\/p>\n

Former President Martinelli himself intervened in the case on Monday, describing the detention of Gar\u00faz and\u00a0P\u00e9rez as \u201cpolitical persecution\u201d in a\u00a0phone conversation<\/a>\u00a0with Nextv<\/em> channel.<\/p>\n

He also labelled current President Juan Carlos Varela a \u201cdictator,\u201d and indicated that he would return to front-line politics in response to the case: \u201cI was thinking of taking a vacation, but this situation obliges me to return,\u201d Martinelli said.<\/em><\/small><\/a><\/p>\n
