Domestic abuse campaigners target Fifty Shades film
Campaigners have held a protest at the UK premiere of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
The group, representing '50 Shades Is Domestic Abuse', held banners and balloons near the red carpet outside the Odeon Leicester Square in central London.
Natalie Collins set up the campaign two-and-a-half years ago as the three books in the Fifty Shades series became hugely popular.
Asked what message she wanted to give to the stars of the new film, she replied: "We want to say that these books and this film is promoting abuse and it is disappointing that they would want to be part of that, they would want to be benefiting from and capitalising on what is essentially domestic abuse."
