Protesters at the IAU meeting in Honolulu ask for a panel at the conference:
"We approached them a week ago and asked for just one panel. One panel in this conference, where we could bring these issues in front of this body and we were denied," said Jonathan Osorio of Mauna a Wakea.
The conference was planned six years ago:
"We refused to alter the program of the conference. But we are considering the possibility of meeting them in a separate room and discussing privately with them," said Piero Benvenuti of the University of Padua.
Then a protester compares the TMT to slavery. (on the video)
