Forced labor fallout: Human rights groups urge Canada to sanction seven Chinese seafood companies
The group has asked the government to add the entities to a special sanctions list.
Activists groups made the request based on an investigation from the nonprofit Outlaw Ocean Project published earlier this year in The New Yorker magazine, which revealed evidence of forced labor of Uyghurs workers transferred from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to seafood processing factories in the Shandong province of China that have supplied US companies as well as the US government.Photo: Shutterstock
