Protesting the US war on biosafety

The US delegation held a press conference a few minutes ago on their agricultural policy. We went to send a message to the 900 pound gorilla to stop protecting the interests of the GE seed companies and start protecting the environment from genetic contamination.

As the press conference started, three of our delegates stood up and approached the speaker. Two of them offered him small bags of Mexican maize, a crop that has been contaminated by genetically engineered strains in several areas of Mexico.

Shortly after our protest ended, another group of NGOs held a short protest against the US as well. Under other circumstances, we might feel sorry for their press people...
