Burmese bra warsThe Burma Campaign UK (BCUK) is urging people not to buy Triumph underwear and to send virtual protest postcards demanding that the company stops manufacturing in the military-controlled country. Triumph began manufacturing in Burma in 1997 in a factory located on a military-owned industrial estate which was upgraded using child labour. BCUK wants UK retailers, including Debenhams and Selfridges to stop selling Triumph products. A series of store protests and posters saying 'Support Breasts Not Dictators' and 'Support Genitals Not Generals' are also planned. Following earlier protests, Levis, Bhs, The Arcadia Group (then called The Burton Group) and River Island have all withdrawn from Burma. |
