More than 6,000 workers were protesting outside the Kaoway Sports factory, demanding better working conditions and pay including a ‘50 cents’ subsidy for lunch.
Three women were shot, aged 18, 21 and 23.
One was hit in the chest and seriously injured; Puma is paying for her medical expenses. The local press are reporting that police opened fire on the demonstrators.
Next time you buy a Puma golf shirt or shoe, think about the low pay and poor conditions of their young female 'out of sight' workers. Who now live in fear of being shot when they protest.
