Tijuana, Mexico — Doctors in the Mexican border city of Tijuana walked off their jobs for 12 hours to protest a wave of kidnappings against colleagues.
About 300 doctors still wearing their white medical robes held a demonstration outside state government offices on Friday.
Tijuana doctors association president Jose Patino says at least one doctor is kidnapped each week for ransom in the border city across from San Diego.
Pediatrician Daniel Trujillo says the walkout and protest are to pressure authorities to do more to stem the kidnappings. |
