A U.S.-based labor rights group says gloves made last fall for chic French clothing company Lacoste appear to have been sewn by ethnic minorities locked inside a factory at a Chinese internment camp.
Gloves made in China for the popular French brand Lacoste appear to have been sewn inside a factory where ethnic minorities face forced ideological and behavioral re-education, according to a U.S.-based labor rights group.
“Lacoste prohibits the use of forced, mandatory, or unpaid labor of any type,” company spokeswoman Nathalie Beguinot said, adding that 95 pairs of gloves from the factory in question were sold in Europe and that unsold gloves made at the Yili Zhuo Wan Garment Manufacturing Co. are currently warehoused.
Officials at Yili Zhuo Wan could not be reached for comment. Last year, media and nonprofit group reports described forced labor and indoctrination of hundreds of people inside the factory. “This is basically state-encouraged forced labor and part of a much broader pattern of extremely severe human rights violation,” said Amy Lehr, who co-authored a CSIS report that included claims of forced labor in Xinjiang. “It’s an attempt to eradicate a culture and religion.”
