https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/06/us-calls-on-china-to-release-activists-investigating-ivanka-trump-brand"The US state department has called on China to release three labour activists who were investigating abuses at a factory that makes products for Ivanka Trumps clothing label, one week after the men disappeared into police custody.
The three activists were preparing to issue a report accusing factories that make shoes for the daughter of US president Donald Trump of a host of violations including paying below Chinas legal minimum wage, managers verbally abusing workers and violations of womens rights, according to their NGO China Labor Watch.
Activists investigating Ivanka Trump's China shoe factory detained or missing
But one of the activists, Hua Haifeng, was detained by police on suspicion of illegal use of monitoring equipment and two others, Li Zhao and Su Heng, have gone missing and are presumed to be in police custody.

Despite US calls, it appears Hua may already have been denied due process. His lawyer, Wen Yu, was prevented from seeing Hua at the detention center this week.

And call for general reforms in that factory.
It IS her fault. That factory is working on HER products.
Does she even care??

(14,920 posts)3. Very true. She should condemn his arrest and demand his release in no uncertain terms.
Her silence on this bears witness to her "values" and what kind of human being she truly is. I can only hope that the publicity Amnesty International, other human rights groups, and some media are giving this will keep him and his colleagues from "disappearing."
