 Protesters wanted to highlight 'unfair trade' to commuters |
Activists wearing pyjamas and masks of world leaders' faces staged a pillow fight in the City of London. Protesters said they wanted to highlight the issue of trade injustice and put pressure on politicians to end what they call unfair economic rules.
The event at the Bank of England happened ahead of this year's G8 meeting in Scotland.
Oxfam campaigner Paola Pagliarin said: "We hope to inspire the public to take action on this crucial issue."
She added: "It's a scandal that the unfair trade system robs developing countries of $1.3bn (�690m) a day - 14 times what they receive in aid."
The G8 summit will see the leaders of the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the US, gather at Gleneagles in July.
