Toronto students organize “Die-In”

A group of University of Toronto students is organizing a “Die-In” to take place this afternoon, Monday, Dec 13, at 12:30 pm in Yonge and Dundas Square to draw attention to a bill that could provide cheaper medications to those suffering with HIV and AIDS in developing countries.

Organizers are calling it a “peaceful flash mob to demand action from Canadian MPs.”

Those who wish to participate are asked to meet at the corner of King’s College Rd and College St at 11:45 or meet the group at Yonge-Dundas Square at 12:15 pm.
