John,
"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

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.
