Garment workers in India continue to face repression

In the middle of April there were unprecedented protests by thousands of garment workers in the southern Indian city of Bangalore. These protests were heavily repressed with many workers injured. Over 300 workers are now facing charges following these protests. Raising bail for all defendants has put a lot of pressure on these workers and their families. It is important for the workers movement to support these workers and the right to organise.
