DEMONSTRATING AGAINST U.S. TRADE POLICY OF ROBBING POOR PEOPLE OF HEALTH
Backed by big business, the USA is blocking changes to the World Trade Organisation rules on drug patents.

The House passed a bill on Fast Track trade authority, giving the President sweeping powers to negotiate trade agreements. The Bush Administration has continued to push harmful positions in FTAA, WTO and other trade negotiations that would continue to block greater access to HIV/AIDS medication, and fast track is a Corporate buyout of people's lives worldwide. read more Bureaucrats Betray People with AIDS in Poor Countries Access to AIDS treatment is a fundamental human right that the Global Fund must help fulfill, as 30 million people with HIV are currently living with no access to affordable medication. AIDS activists from around the world DEMAND the Global Fund subsidize cheaper AIDS Drugs. read more

"the conduct was necessary to avoid eminent harm to a person or the public,
"there was no adequate alternative for avoiding the harm,
"the harm caused by the act was not disproportionate to the harm avoided,
"the defendant had a good-faith belief that the act was necessary to prevent harm,
"the defendant believed his or her behavior to be reasonable."
