Activists Protest South African AIDS Treatment

South Africa’s Treatment Access Campaign has staged protests nationwide and abroad at South African embassies and consulates in Canada and the United States. Activists also demonstrated yesterday at South Africa’s Departments of Health and Correctional Services to demand immediate compliance with a court order to treat HIV-positive prisoners. Rukia Cornelius is the national campaign manager for the Treatment Action Campaign; she spoke with VOA English to Africa reporter Howard Lesser about the anti-AIDS advocacy group and its mission.
