| Report claims Apple supplier used Muslim forced labour Uighur Muslim laborers transferred from Xinjiang Long time Apple supplier Lens Technology, which makes iPhone glass has been using Uighur Muslim laborers transferred from Xinjiang to make Apple's shiny toys on the cheap. Documents uncovered by a human rights group cast a shadow over Apple's checkered human rights record in China. The Tech Transparency Project revealed the papers to the Washington Post detailed how thousands of Uighur workers from the predominantly Muslim region of Xinjiang were sent to work for Lens Technology. Lens supplies Amazon and Tesla, according to its annual report. To make matters worse Apple is lobbying against a bill aimed at stopping forced labour in China Lens Technology is one of at least five companies connected to Apple’s supply chain that have now been linked to alleged forced labour from the Xinjiang region, . Lens Technology stands out from other Apple component suppliers because of its high-profile founder and long, well-documented history going back to the early days of the iPhone. https://fudzilla.com/news/52127-repo...-forced-labour |
