TORONTO, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- About 50 Protesters, most of whom are delegates at the International AIDS Conference, on Wednesday urged the U.S. government to play a greater role in the fight against AIDS.
The protesters, who threatened to shut down Toronto's University Avenue on Wednesday, gave the U.S. Consul General John Nay a one-metre letter demanding universal access to AIDS treatment and asking the U.S. to use its influence to help other countries battle the disease.
Eric Sawyer, organizer of the protest, said he hoped the letter would be passed on to U.S. President George W. Bush.
He said the protesters had planned to form a human chain, blocking traffic to the U.S. Consulate General to make their point, but abandoned the idea when they gained a meeting with the consul general.
The protest was one of a few associated with the huge conference taking place in the city until Friday. The conference has attracted more than 24,000 delegates from 140 countries. Enditem
