Boycott Iphone!

25 May 2010 - A planned worldwide campaign to boycott Apple's newest Iphone begins in Hong Kong today amid anger over working conditions at mainland factories where parts of the sought after gadget is produced. A protest will be staged outside the office of Foxconn, a Taiwanese contract manufacturer for Apple. Eight Chinese Foxconn workers committed suicide in recent months. The firm says the suicides have nothing to do with working conditions, but questions remain about the way the firm runs its workers dormitory - which are compared to a military camp. Protests are also aimed at another Taiwan-owned Apple supplier, United Win in Suzhou. Workers told the China Daily that people were dying from long-term exposure to a toxic chemical used in the factory to clean the panels.
