Dear All,
On 2 March 2011, representatives of PLHIV Networks, Network of People who
Use Drugs and health activists from across India are holding a protest
against the India-EU Free Trade Agreement at New Delhi. Patient groups and
civil society representatives from other countries, including Nepal,
Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines are also coming to India to seek
meetings with Indian government to express their concerns. The rally starts
at Ramlila Ground at 10 am and reaches at Jantar Mantar and is being held by
health groups to voice their concerns against this FTA.
The protest is directed against the stronger Intellectual Property
provisions being demanded by the European Commission in the India-EU Free
Trade Agreement, which may hamper access to cheap, life-saving, quality
medicines for patients not just in India but many other developing countries

providers at risk of police actions and court cases.

Club from 2pm onwards.
Mr. Anand Grover, UN Special Rapporteur on Health will address the media and

countless human lives in developing countries by drying up the source of
good and affordable medicines. The other panelists will include

India, Asia Pacific Network of Positive People and Indian Network of
Positive People.
In solidarity, the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition, Asia
Pacific Network of Positive People, Asian Network of People who Use Drugs
(ANPUD), World Vision, Lawyer's collective, Oxfam India and Médecins Sans
Frontières Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines are calling for a
global day of action against the EU-India FTA on 2 March 2011..
