More than 100 asylum seekers from around the world sent to Panama from the United States have no sense how long they will be held or where they might eventually be sent.

By Sarah Kinosian PANAMA CITY (Reuters) -Lawyers for migrants from around the world who were deported from the United States and moved to a remote jungle camp in Panama in recent weeks say they have been unable to communicate with their clients since they arrived there.

For days, they say they were locked inside a hotel in Panama, surrounded by tight security with limited contact with the outside world.

The group of unauthorized migrants, which includes children, were bused to the camp late Tuesday night. “It looks like a zoo, there are fenced cages,” said one of the detainees.

Panama's security minister said on Tuesday that more than half of the migrants deported from the United States to transit point Panama in recent days had accepted voluntary repatriations to their home countries,
