International Week of Virtual Protest Against Atos Origin

As part of the National Week of Action Against Atos Origin we are calling for a virtual protest to be held across the world!
Please show your support for the thousands of benefit claimants who have been mistreated by Atos ‘Healthcares’ medical testing which has stripped benefits from people with serious illnesses or disabilities.
In the run up to the week of action please show your support by sharing the facebook group, blogging, tweeting, writing to local newspapers and helping to ensure that all events around the country directed at Atos are successful. Details of all events and protests can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=121624627914913
Please also share this page and let’s make our disgust at these poverty pimps heard across the world.
Then during the week itself let’s make sure Atos Origin know exactly how we feel by contacting them, complaining and exposing their grubby money making scheme which has already led to suicides.
Atos have several facebook pages which can be found at:http://www.facebook.com/search.php?q=atos+origin&init=quick&tas=0.24224732742295574&search_first_focus=1303902970313

ATOS death squads

ATOS Origin are a French company who've wangled a contract with the UK Government to filter hundreds of millions in taxpayers money into their greedy hands, in return they harrass and victimise ill people and deny them benefits from the welfare system to which they've contributed all of their working lives.

It's time we ran these bastards out of our country and displayed their CEO's head on a spike to warn off any other fucking scum who profit from poverty.
