world share: Protests and burials in Bangladesh for garment factory workers
Bangladesh held a day of mourning Tuesday for at least 111 people killed over the weekend in a garment factory fire. Labor groups demonstrated against dangerous factory conditions to demand better worker safety in an industry notorious for operating in firetraps. The government, which now says the fire was a result of arson, handed over the bodies of 52 unidentified workers after DNA samplings, to Anjuman Mofidul Islam (a social organization) for burial. Bangladesh is the world’s second biggest clothes exporter, behind China.
