My friend is currently traveling Belize with his family. He sent me this email:
My mom was hit by a drunk driver in Belize. The police took her passport and are now holding her in the country, I believe in the hopes of eventually getting a bribe, or maybe they are protecting the driver. They have been sabotaging our court case, at first by destroying witness testimony and making up false statements, and in the most recent development by threatening to kill one of witnesses, who has now fled the area. No one in the Belize or US governments have been willing to help. I am convinced that without a little bit of pressure on the Belize tourism industry/government nothing is going to happen and things will continue to get worse. I've made a small website with the story, in hopes of eventually reaching a major news outlet or convincing someone in power to take an interest in the matter.
