USA: Anti-Monsanto protest hits Capitol Hill

Around 70 climate change and organic food activists gathered outside Washington D.C.'s Capitol Hill on Saturday, in opposition to Monsanto, the TPP, TTIP and "so-called liberals" such as President Barack Obama. The group held placards critical of the multi-national corporation, with one Muslim woman holding a sign reading "Muslims against Monsanto." Ronnie Cummins from the Organic Consumers Association addressed the audience, branding those operating in Capitol Hill "hypocrites." The protest comes as lawsuits build up against Monsanto, over allegations that one of the much maligned corporation's herbicides has caused cancer in agricultural workers.
