Tesco suspends Chinese supplier after prisoner labour report
Supermarket giant says it stops production at factory in China after a Christmas card containing cry for help was found.
UK supermarket giant Tesco has said it has stopped production at a factory in China after one of its Christmas cards was found to contain a cry for help reportedly from a prisoner who made it.
The Sunday Times newspaper reported that a London schoolgirl had opened a card last weekend to find a message inside claiming to be from inmates at Shanghai's Qingpu Prison.
"We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qingpu Prison China," said the message, in a Tesco charity card featuring a kitten in a Santa hat.
"Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation."
