Novartis, Stop It (AIDS Patent)

Description:
Novartis, a global pharmaceutical giant, is challenging India's patent law. India supplies half of all AIDS medications used in poor countries. If Novartis wins its court case, access to AIDS treatment could be shut off for
hundreds of thousands of people. Their lives hang in the balance.

On February 14, 2007, AIDS activists demonstrated outside Novartis offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during a blizzard.
