Bill Clinton AIDS speech in Amsterdam disrupted by protest
Bill Clinton has been heckled at the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam by activists for drug users and sex workers, over Trump’s Muslim travel ban and discrimination against social minorities in the United States.
On Friday, the former US president was giving a speech in the Dutch capital when a group of protesters stepped in. They walked down the main aisle with red umbrellas and heckled Clinton, challenging him with questions about US policies. The group also expressed anger about the decision to hold the conference in San Francisco in 2020.
The world needs to understand that sex workers, LGBTIQ+ members, people living with HIV, drug users and all the key populations are HUMANS. We need global policies that protect them from discrimination.
