The Kraft Family and supporters are calling
for a formal investigation into the events surrounding
this case and discourages all unnecessary travel into
Mexico until Mexican Ambassador Antonio Garcia
Sanchez is held accountable for the injuries of
American Citizen Don Kraft.
Kraft, his wife and 3 boys ages 6, 10, and
12 were simply vacationing in Baja when they got involved
in a car accident with Mexican Human Rights Official
Antonio Garcia Sanchez, a Mexican Diplomat.
Kraft suffered a broken neck that required immediate
Medical attention at a U.S. trauma center.
Sanchez refused to let Kraft be life flighted
back to the U. S. until he received over $ 7000 dollars
and at one point discussed his desire for a new
car. Sanchez's demands increased from $2000 dollars
to $5000 and finally settled on $7000. Sanchez bartered
for more money as precious time went by... time that
medically Don Kraft could not afford to lose.
Eighteen hours after the accident Kraft
was finally life flighted. He now lays in hospital
bed with complete paralysis.
Doctors have confirmed that it was the
amount of time it took to get Kraft to care that caused
his deteriorated condition.
Thanks for showing your
Solidarity and Support for the Kraft family.
