Code Pink, Yemenis protest Saudi King, disrupt Saudi investment forum

On the 4th of September, Saudi King Salman visited the White House. His country is waging war on the people of Yemen and flogging people for trifles.

Medea Benjamin was dragged out of that event after managing in classic Code Pink style to get inside.
