AIDS / G8

Thursday 3 July 2008

All the versions of this article: [English] [français]

The G8 is priming itself to go back on its commitments on universal access to treatments by 2010. Act Up-Paris invites you to send this open letter by email and by fax to the representatives of the Elysee (French Presidency) and to the governement - see the contacts below. Nicolas Sakozy is meeting NGOs on Friday July 4. The French President must understand that we won’t let the rich countries betray the PLWAs once more.

Open letter

Madam, Sir,

According to the press the G8 is priming itself to go back on its commitments on universal access to treatments by 2010. This new betrayal would sentence millions of people living with aids to death, in a near future. Is Nicolas Sarkozy ready to take this responsibility ?History will not forget this criminal betrayal.

We are concerned by the French policy. France did not increase its contribution to the fight against aids, and even threatened to drop it for 2008.

As People Living with aids, or NGOs working with them, we demand to do everything you can so that the G8 meeting will not be a meeting leading to the death of millions of people. Rich countries must keep their promises,
