Crack down on Bangladesh labour activists

At least 11 garment union leaders and activists have been detained in Bangladesh in an alarming step backwards for workers' rights and democracy in the country. Security forces have raided the houses of trade union leaders and volunteers, and many have gone into hiding in fear of their safety.
Trade union offices in Dhaka have been invaded, vandalized and forcibly shut down, with membership documents burned and furniture removed.

Support these workers by taking a moment to sign this petition and this petition from UNI and IndustriALL to help end the attack on garment workers.
