This important #bizhumanrights research shows what many German textile companies denied: Their clothes do contain cotton from Xinjiang - a region that is known for forced labour. #Germany's judicial authorities should acknowledge these findings and finally open investigations!
Chemical analyses, bills of lading, cotton smuggled in a carpet and satellite images. It took us quite a bit to answer one simple question: Is there fabric from potential forced labor in clothing made by German companies? @aktenberger

Eine neue @STRG_F-Recherche zeigt: Trotz gegenteiliger Zusagen ist in Kleidung deutscher Marken wie Adidas, Hugo Boss & Puma weiter Baumwolle aus #Xinjiang #China nachweisbar- die aus #Zwangsarbeit stammen könnte. Bisher hat Deutschland nicht ermittelt - das muss sich ändern!

Das ECCHR reichte schon im Sept '21 Strafanzeige gegen Textilunternehmen ein. Diese behaupteten, keine Baumwolle aus Xinjiang zu beziehen. Chinas Regierung unterdrückt dort die Minderheit der Uighuren & zwingt sie zu Zwangsarbeit in der Textilindustrie.
