Collateral Damage: Mexican doctors protest border city violence

Mexican doctors protest border city violence - CNN.com: "Doctors in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, said Monday that they would stop working for 24 hours to demand that the government do more to deal with the violence ravaging their city.

'Many of us have been asked to save the lives of burglars, extorters and kidnappers of our own colleagues. It's outrageous that we are saving the lives of people that are attacking and killing us, and we are going to look for the legal means to avoid doing that,' said Alejandro Flores, a member of the Citizens' Committee of Ciudad Juarez Doctors.

Banners hanging outside hospitals and clinics in Ciudad Juarez -- located across the border from El Paso, Texas -- read: 'Stop impunity. We demand justice.'" Dec. 14, 2010
