Workers Who Probed Ivanka Trump-Linked Factories Missing
Posted in: Uncategorized
Two Chinese labor activists were reported missing, with a third detained by police, while they were investigating labor conditions at a factory that manufactured Ivanka Trump shoes, according to a workers advocacy group.
Hua Haifeng, Li Zhao and Su Heng, working undercover under the direction of New York-based China Labor Watch at a factory operated by shoe manufacturer Huajian Group in the southeast province of Jiangxi, have been unreachable by phone over the weekend, said Li Qiang, the founder of the advocacy group. Hua’s wife was contacted by local police by phone Tuesday afternoon and told that he’s been detained for illegal eavesdropping, said the wife, Deng Guimian.
Huajian’s facility is one of 15 factories that make products for the brand founded by the daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump that China Labor Watch said it has been investigating in the past year.
