2 the events that occurred as of December 6, 1990, and especially as of December 14 of said year (, date), when Law N° 25 was passed [on the basis of which] 270 government employees who had participated in a demonstration for labour rights, and who were accused of complicity for perpetrating a military coup, were arbitrarily dismissed. After [the arbitrary dismissal of said workers], in the procedure pertinent to their complaints and demands, a number of violations of their right to the due process and to judicial protection were committed. 2. In like manner, the Commission requested the Court to declare that Law 25 and the rule contained in Article 43 of the Constitution of Panama were contrary to the Convention, since they permitted the retroactive enforcement of the laws and that, consequently, they should be modified or repealed pursuant to Article 2 of said Convention. The Commission also requested the Court to require the State to reestablish the 270 workers in the exercise of their rights and to make reparations to and compensate the victims or their families for the acts committed by its agents, as established in Article 63(1) of the Convention. 3. Lastly, the Commission requested that the State should be condemned to pay the costs and expenses of the proceeding. 4. The 270 workers that the Commission considers have been the victims in this case are: Leonidas A. Baena Ricardo, Alfredo Berrocal Arosemena, Francisco J. Chacón, Arístides Barba Vega, Salvador Vela, Eugenio Delgado, Juan O. Sanjur.
