Sergio's Career
An
ethnic Mexican Indian, Sergio was born in 1946 into a poor family. His
abilities at elementary school won him a place in one of Mexico City's
best secondary schools where he learned English. He moved to England in
1970, earning a living as a hotel catering assistant and a racing car
mechanic before getting a job as a press photographer. By the time he
returned to Mexico after 18 years in Britain, he had become very successful,
working for Newsweek, the New York Times, the London
Sunday Times, Paris Match and Stern.
His present persecution has effectively ended his career.
