5:44Now PlayingJournalists investigating Ivanka Trump’s brand’s labor practices in China are missing and feared detained. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what happened to them. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“BEIJING — A labor activist researching working conditions in a Chinese factory that makes shoes for Ivanka Trump’s label has been detained by police, according to his wife and a labor advocacy group, while two others have gone missing and are presumed also to have been detained.
The three activists were investigating labor conditions at Huajian shoe factories for China Labor Watch, a New York-based nonprofit organization that aims to defend workers’ rights.
Huajian has previously said it has been making shoes for the U.S. president’s daughter for nearly a decade, accounting for one-third of her shoes made in China but only a small proportion of its total output.
But China Labor Watch said its investigation in working practices at Huajian factories has apparently been closed down by local police.
Two of the activists were told they were not allowed to leave China in April and May, said Li Qiang, CLW’s founder — something he said was relatively common.”
