Protesters call for trade justice (UK)
Campaigners are staging a night of protest to demand "trade justice" for the world's poorest workers. <snip>

The Wake Up to Trade Justice event was organised by the Trade Justice Movement - a coalition of 65 UK organisations - and is part of a series of global events held from 10-16 April.

In Brussels a funeral procession saw coffins filled with rice, chickens and tomatoes to highlight, what campaigners say, is the affect the EU free trade has on communities and livelihoods in developing countries.

Protesters want to see an end to trade conditions which, they say, force farmers in developing countries to compete with cheaper foreign imports. <snip>
