Beta news agency - very together people


McDonald's libel trial:

Two unemployed activists were sued by McDonald's for a leaflet saying their food is terrible and they use beef from former rainforests. It was the longest ever case in British legal history. A verdict is due any day - when it's released there will be mass leafletting of McDonald's around the world.

Women in slavery

Saudi women can be and are killed by their families if they are suspected of sexual "misbehaviour". They can't drive cars, travel without their husbands permission and are restricted in every way. Even the richest women in the country are slaves in their own homes.
