The BBC has found disturbing evidence of Vietnamese textile workers being kept in slave-like conditions at a Vietnamese-run factory in Russia.
Staff at Vinastar, a medium-sized business in the village of Savino south-east of Moscow, said they were being forced to work up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week.
They said they were poorly fed, beaten up regularly and forbidden to leave the factory premises.
"I have been working here for 18 months," said one of the factory workers, Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen.
"I'm barely paid enough to afford two meals a day - a bowl of rice and some bread. We are often beaten up. Not so long ago, 20 people were beaten up." Full story...
