audience

Thousands of small farmers, landless peasants and agricultural workerscame from across Pakistan on October 6 to demand a minimum support price for their produce and an end to corporate farming and land grabs, reports Susan Price.

Thousands of landless workers marched on July 12 through the streets of the Paraguayan capital, Asuncion, to demand the cancellation of debts contracted with the national bank.

The demonstrators have been blocking the centre of the capital since July 10, setting up their camp in front of the National Congress.
