Access to affordable medicines is under attack from multinational drug
company Novartis. In violation of existing world trade rules Novartis
is trying to change the Indian patent law by taking the country to
court. The next important court hearing is in 6 days (15th February).
Novartis is already feeling the heat. Your action is urgently needed
to make Novartis drop the case.

ACT NOW: Email Dr Daniel Vasella, the Novartis CEO

I am concerned that Novartis’s actions in India contradict its stated
commitment to “conscientious global citizenship”.

But I'm not surprised. You don't give a rat's a.s about anything but
money. Your company's crap about giving away drugs is just another
cheap, low-cost marketing ploy once you have the area locked up so you
can screw the crap out of more people for your horribly overpriced
drugs. You murder people with your greed. You cause suffering. You're
nothing but a bunch of international mafia-style thugs out to screw as
many people as possible. And if there is life after death, I hope you
get to experience all the pain and misery you have caused in the
world.

In the interest of public health and in order for medicines to be
available and affordable for people in India and worldwide, I urge
Novartis to:

1  Withdraw the appeal against the
  Indian Patent Office on the cancer
  medicine Glivec®/Gleevec®;

2  Withdraw the legal case it is
  pursuing seeking changes to the
  Indian Patent Law;

3  Publicly commit to the right of
  developing countries to provide
  cheaper medicines in the interests
  of public health.

I look forward to hearing from you.
