An NGO alliance has called in France for an investigation of four multinational clothing manufacturers, accusing them of profiting from forced labour of the Uyghur minority in China, they said Friday. The complaint targets the clothing giants Inditex, Uniqlo and SMCP as well as footwear manufacturer Skechers, who it accused of concealing forced labour and crimes against humanity in the production of the goods. The complaint was filed by anti-corruption group Sherpa, the Ethique NGO which is the French branch of the Clean Clothes Campaign and the Uyghur Institute of Europe, as well as an Uyghur woman who had been held in a camp in Xinjiang in China. bl-sjw/wai
