Triumph international - Clean Clothes Campaign

( Dutch Triumph site)

	Jan 2002 - Good news: Triumph closes factory in Burma!!!
News

The Clean Clothes Campaign has been informed that Triumph International, the Switzerland-based garment company, is operating a factory in Burma.

The exiled trade union federation of Burma, the Federation of Trade Unions - Burma (FTUB) has called for support of a campaign to demand that Triumph pull out of Burma. This is also the demand of Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of Burma's struggle for democracy. Aung San Suu Kyi, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 and still under house arrest for her ongoing efforts in defiance of the country's brutal military regime, supports this strategy, as does the National League for Democracy.

Let Triumph and retailers that sell Triumph products in your country know that you support this campaign.
