18.06.2007 La Fibres & Fabrics International ha citato in tribunale la 'Clean Clothes Campaign' e l’India Committee of the Netherlands: le due associazioni sono accusate dalla ditta indiana di "cyber crime, atti di razzismo, xenofobia e diffamazione" e il 25 giugno dovranno comparire presso la corte del Tribunale Civile di Bangalore. "La Fibres & Fabrics International continua la sua azione di intimidazione per cercare di azzerare le critiche e fare tacere le organizzazioni della società civile che hanno portato all'attenzione dell'opinione pubblica internazionale le gravi violazioni in corso nelle sue unità produttive" - afferma un comunicato della 'Clean Clothes Campaign'. Le interviste con i lavoratori condotte dalla Campagna avevano messo in luce una situazione grave in cui si consumavano abusi fisici e psicologici, lavoro forzato, straordinari non pagati. La campagna ha predisposto una petizione online per fare cessare l’ordinanza del Tribunale di Bangalore.
