Japan: Worker Rights Consortium demands ASICS to compensate local union leader arrested & convicted without credible evidence; incl. co. comment

”カンボジアの縫製工場で起こった“労働者への弾圧” 国際人権団体が「株式会社アシックス」に対応を要請,” 2 August 2024

“Unofficial Japanese-to-English translation by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre”

...the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC), an international organisation that aims to defend workers' rights in the apparel and other industries, sent a written request to ASICS Corporation, which manufactures and sells athletic shoes and other products, demanding that it respond appropriately to an incident of violation of workers' rights at a sewing factory in Cambodia.
