Zara forces Dhaka factory closure


Fashion firm Zara has forced the closure of a supplier's factory after workers told the BBC they had suffered harsh treatment there.

An inspection of the premises in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, prompted by revelations to the BBC, found "really poor conditions"

Unions must also be introduced to its other plants.
