Despite the Chinese state’s Olympic promise to improve, the violation of basic human and workers' rights continues and activists continue to be imprisoned for trying to change their conditions.

Big western corporations have been producing merchandise in sweatshops across China for years, with the coming of the Olympics things have only got worse! China continues its ongoing violation of fundamental human rights, including the use of forced labour, the denial of freedom of association and the denial of the right to collectively bargain…
Its time to act!

Join No Sweat at The Cross Kings on Saturday 17th May & organise against the sweatshop labour behind the Olympics!
