The move was prompted by a complaint from a coalition of 28 organizations, including Stop Uyghur Genocide Canada, the Uyghur Refugee Relief Fund and the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project. The complainants allege that Zara has ties with Huafu Top Dyed Melange Yarn Co., Shandong Zoucheng Guosheng and Xinjiang Zhongtai Group, three Chinese companies singled out by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) in 2020 and Sheffield Hallam University’s Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice in 2022 for their involvement in the exploitation of Uyghurs through state-sponsored labor transfers and work placements.
