*[Enwl-eng] Zara, proudly made in prison camps?

[ENWL]

                        Zara’s millionaire CEO is bankrolling Uyghur 
genocide in China.

                        With your help, we’re putting his shameful secret on 
full display in a national newspaper.

                        Can you chip in to stop Zara profiting from Uyghur 
genocide?

             "They have a chair called the 'tiger.' My ankles were shackled, 
my hands locked to the chair ... They had thick wooden and rubber batons ... 
needles to pierce the skin, pliers for pulling out your nails.”

            Mass torture, rape and forced sterilisation -- welcome to life 
in a Uyghur concentration camp in China.

            And Zara is buying cotton produced by inmates in these state-run 
factories.

            Uyghur activists are pleading with them to stop. So far, Zara 
has refused. You could change that.

            Zara’s CEO -- Pablo Isla -- wants to be seen as the ‘nice guy’ 
of the fashion industry. With your donation, we’ll take out a scathing ad in 
a national Spanish newspaper -- showing his country he’s profiting hand over 
fist from one of the worst crimes against humanity of our time.

            We have the designs ready to go, but full page national ads don’t 
come cheap -- and with hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs being churned 
through these labour camps, every single second counts:

            We know we can win campaigns like this in the fashion industry 
because we’ve done it all before. When tens of thousands of SumOfUs members 
called on leading fashion brands to ensure the safety of Bangladeshi 
workers -- H&M, Zara and Benetton all got on board.

            This time we have a head start -- H&M already went public 
refusing to buy Uyghur camp cotton. But when the government of China slammed 
this decision, spineless Zara execs ran for cover, deleting a statement 
opposing Uyghur forced labor from its website.

            There’s no reason Zara can’t take a stand, just like H&M. If it 
did and other brands joined, the government would have no choice but to back 
off the bullying and reconsider the horrifying treatment of Uyghurs.

            But Zara is banking on the world ignoring its role in 
legitimising Uyghur forced labour and genocide. And CEO Pablo Isla doesn’t 
want this shameful secret tarnishing his image.

            You can change that. Just $2 will help buy up the ad space we 
urgently need to put Zara’s genocide profits on full display, and point the 
finger of blame firmly at its ‘good guy’ CEO.
