Dutch denim brand G-Star has ended a contract with Indian manufacturer Fibres and Fabrics International (FFI) over problems with working conditions at the company's factories.

G-Star issued a statement saying that it had been unable to achieve constructive dialogue between FFI and labour rights campaigners, including the Clean Clothes Campaign. FFI is pursuing a defamation case against some of the campaign groups, in the face of G-Star's wishes.

An Indian court has now issued arrest warrants against eight of the campaign activists that have been involved in the publicity around poor working conditions at FFI.

The Clean Clothes Campaign said that the court's action was akin to criminalising free speech, and would make it impossible for companies to credibly implement corporate social responsibility policies in India.
