ASTRAZENECA SHAREHOLDERS HAVE MORE PROTESTS IN LONDON

Friday, 3rd December

Since Axa are the second largest shareholder (with nearly 11 million shares) to the lying, cruel and profiteering AstraZeneca, a major customer of HLS. London activists decided to go along and ask Axa why they bother having an ethical policy when they continue to deal with scummy, animal abusing companies who lie and suppress test data, while injuring patients? Maybe it's because they feel at home with being with like-minded lying, corrupt companies or they really don't give a damn about the multiple exposed cruelty at HLS or their supposedly 'ethical policy'?

We had a loud demo outside their office's main entrance at 7 Newgate Street, London EC1A 7NX. Which is a good location on a busy road, with drivers beeping their support and passers by taking flyers. AXA, we will make sure that the public realise that your ethical policies isn't worth the paper it is written on and we will see you again very soon.

We then moved on to Vanguard, the largest Mutual Fund holder of AstraZerneca with over 9 million shares, whose offices are at 50 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6JJ. Where once again we had a visual and loud demo outside their offices.

Rest assured we will continue to increase our protests at the main shareholders of AstraZenca until AZ do the right thing and pull out of using HLS. With AZ's share price taking a dive after their offices were raided as part of a probe into them colluding to keep cheaper drugs off the market, having to sell off some of their sites across the world and the continued strikes in the UK by AZ's workers over their pension rights and payments.

We will continue to play our part in making AstraZeneca's corporate life uncomfortable while they continue to pay for, and cause pain, suffering and death to countless animals in HLS and elsewhere.
