DAY TO DAY OBSERVATIONS OF A TYPICAL IDIOT

doctorswithoutborders:

Hands Off campaign protests have taken place all over the world, from Nairobi to Kathmandu via Jakarta, Manipur, Brussels and New Delhi.

The goal of all of these actions has been to stop mandates that would harm access to affordable, life-saving medicines for millions removed from international agreements such as the EU-India FTA.

MSF has joined thousands of protesters in the streets of New Dehli to demonstrate against the possible passing of law that would stop the flow of medications to those who desperately need them in the developing world.

For more information about the protests go here.
