Oxfam campaigners notched up another notable success at the annual general meeting of GlaxoSmithKline. Shareholders arriving at the meeting at the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre in London yesterday, 21 May, were greeted by protesters under a banner proclaiming "Take Leadership". Dressed in white lab coats, the campaigners from Oxfam campaigners handed out prescription bags with a medicine packet containing a leaflet calling for GSK to take the lead within the pharmaceutical industry to make essential medicines cheaper for poor countries.
