Protesters are to gather outside AstraZeneca’s Cambridge headquarters in the UK to demand the pharmaceutical firm shares its Covid-19 vaccine technology.

The demonstration, organised by Global Justice Now, is calling for the British-Swedish company to openly licence its jab and commit to sharing the technology with the World Health Organisation (WHO).
