H&M vinner domstolsfall – får fortsätta inspektera
Klädjättar – bland andra H&M – vann på söndagen ett fall i högsta domstolen i Bangladesh som gör att internationella inspektörer får fortsätta verka på klädfabriker i landet.
AFP rapporterar att domstolen ger initiativet ”The Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety” rätten att inspektera ytterligare ett år. Ackordet är ett av de två som skapades av flera internationella klädkedjor efter olyckan där en eftersatt fabriksbyggnad föll och över 1 000 personer dog år 2013.
Lokala fabriksägare har varit motståndare till de internationella inspektörerna.

The 2013 Dhaka garment factory collapse (also referred to as the 2013 Savar building collapse or the Rana Plaza collapse) was a structural failure that occurred on 24 April 2013 in the Savar Upazila of Dhaka District, Bangladesh, where an eight-story commercial building called Rana Plaza collapsed. The search for the dead ended on 13 May 2013 with a death toll of 1,134. Approximately 2,500 injured people were rescued from the building alive. It is considered the deadliest structural failure accident in modern human history, and therefore also the deadliest garment-factory disaster in history.The building contained clothing factories, a bank, apartments, and several shops. The shops and the bank on the lower floors were immediately closed after cracks were discovered in the building. The building's owners ignored warnings to avoid using the building after cracks had appeared the day before. Garment workers were ordered to return the following day, and the building collapsed during the morning rush-hour.
