ONE OF the most effective ways to curb forced labour in the garment industry is to target cotton spinning mills, where workers can provide valuable information about the source of material in the fashion supply chain, the Thomson Reuters Foundation, an anti-slavery charity, said on Friday (September 9).

MILITANTS trying to disrupt construction of an “economic corridor” linking China with Pakistan’s coast have killed 44 workers since 2014, an official revealed on Thursday (September 8). The rising toll is likely to reinforce Chinese worry about the project’s security.

TRIBUTES were paid last Friday (5) to Prof The Honourable Bishnodat Persaud, a distinguished economist whose psychiatrist son, Dr Raj Per saud, is familiar to readers of Eastern Eye.
Prof Persaud – or Vishnu as he was generally known – died in London, aged 82, on July 24 after battling cancer for many months.
At the service at Golders Green crematorium, Raj spoke movingly about his father, as did his younger brother and sister, Avinash and Sharda, who both happen to be economists as well.
Vishnu’s novelist wife, Lakshmi, to whom he was married for 54 years, spoke too, as did his sister, Maharanee, who had come from Canada.
What emerged at the part-Christian, part-Hin du, part secular service is that Vishnu’s story is, in microcosm, the larger story of the Indian diaspora.
Kent Police have been ordered to pay aggravated damages after a tribunal ruled how a British Asian constable described as a “long-serving, loyal and successful officer, was ‘worn down by the conduct of his senior officers’
In the racial discrimination case involving Angus Bowler, 53, the tribunal also stated how police witnesses had “suffered a collective memory loss” while giving evidence about a crucial aspect of the case.
Because of the discrimination and victimisation, the father of three went from having hardly any sickness absences in 25 years to needing time off for stress, suffering dizzy spells and chest pains, and feeling sick on the way to work.
With thousands displaced after the recent flooding in Sri Lanka, Al-Imdaad Foundation teams responded with emergency aid to help victims overcome difficulties.

In the worst-hit area, Aranayake district, three villages were buried after a huge section of hillside sheared away by the rain.
East Lancashire charity the Al-Imdaad Foundation, was quick to mobilise teams to join the humanitarian response initiative in Sri Lanka. The immediate needs of the population include food, new shelter homes and water sanitation as many had no access to even the essentials of daily life.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter Friday to express his annoyance at being detained by US airport immigration authorities for the third time, saying the experience “really, really sucks”.
The last time Khan, 50, was detained by immigration officials in New York in 2012, it sparked uproar among his Indian fans who accused the US of racial profiling, and led Washington to apologise.
“I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks,” Khan tweeted after he was pulled aside at Los Angeles airport.
“The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons”.
As news of Khan’s detention broke on Indian television channels, US Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal quickly expressed regret.
