. . . "Mr. Lehman further requests that the Commission, in accordance with Article 25 of the Commission Rules, call upon Panama to adopt precautionary measures to guarantee that Mr. Lehman can carry out his duty as executor of Mr. Lucom's will without further harassment or endangerment. Because Mr. Lehman has been unable to travel freely to Panama, he has been unable to fulfill the final wishes of Mr. Lucom, and charities that perform life-saving services to Panama's poor children are being deprived of the funds that should rightfully be put to such work. If the organs of the Panamanian State continue to be abused, to permit the looting of Mr. Lucom's estate by members of the Arias family, it will be impossible for Mr. Lehman to carry out his duties as executor. Precautionary measures, therefore, will guard against irreparable and potentially devastating harm to the rightful beneficiaries of Mr. Lucom's will, the poor children of Panama. In light of the attempted murder of Mr. Avila, an outspoken proponent for carrying out the will bequest of Mr. Lucom, Mr. Lehman may also be at risk. Although the attempted murder of Mr. Avila is unsolved, the fact that he was attacked shortly after his participation in a very public protest related to this dispute, could be a sign that the situation is escalating to violence. Indeed, two U.S. Congressmen have written to the U.S. Embassy in Panama to express their concern for the safety and wellbeing of Mr. Lehman during his trips to Panama to fight the charges against him and address the legal matters related to Mr. Lehman's estate.

Corruption in Panama and Human Rights Abuse of Richard Lehman

Dear Senator Martinez:

I am writing you regarding a serious foreign relation matter regarding the Republic of Panama and the corruption of its legal system and regular and organized abuse of US Citizens and their Civil and human rights.

I am one of many Colorado businessmen (and a number of CO Corporations and LLC’s) who have been actively doing business in Panama for the past 3 years. During that time, I have witnessed first-hand the extend of the corruption of the Panama legal system, and the systematic robbing of US and Canadian investors (both professionals and retiree’s) by cabals of Panamanian attorney’s, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and other government officials - all the way to the Supreme Court.

The most public example of this is in the case of a US Citizen, Richard Lehman, a Florida attorney who has been for 2 1/2 years attempting to prevent one of the Panamanian oligarchy’s from stealing the large estate of Wilson Lucom, a past advisor to the US Secretary of State. The Panamanian government/authorities have relentlessly abused the civil and human rights of Mr. Lehman as he tried to protect the Lucom state, which has been valued at between $50M and $150M—the majority of which Mr. Lucom left in his Will for the poor children of Panama. . .READ this entire letter to local state senator
