Panama's government rejected accusations it violated the human rights of U.S.-bound migrants who cross into the country irregularly through the dangerous jungle of the Darien Gap, the country's security ministry said on Monday.
El Pais newspaper said late last week a United Nations document sent to Panama's government alleged that the country's officials sexually abused migrants crossing the Darien.
The document included accusations of forced labor and people deprived of their liberty at migration checkpoints, it said.
