7Eleven alias CP A multinational that uses slavery to sell cheaper.

Thai Shrimp is cheap. Now we understand why: she is fed through the fish caught by migrants enslaved. And that is the largest shrimp farm in the world, CP Foods, which is blamed.

Shrimp has a bitter aftertaste. In Thailand, men are chained, beaten or killed on fishing boats to provide shrimp groups supermarkets Walmart, Tesco, Carrefour and Costo. According to British newspaper The Guardian, the largest shrimp farm in the world, CP Foods is providing food to these slave ships. The magazine Further investigation, released Thursday, November 27, investigated this sector.

Former "slaves" who managed to flee tell their daily on board: a row twenty hours of labor, beatings, torture and executions by the captains. Most of these slave-workers are migrants from Burma and Cambodia to work on construction sites. But they are often embedded force on these ships, sometimes drugged.

The parent group of CP Foods shows a profit "insolent" of 24.8 billion euros and was even dubbed "the kitchen of the world". The NGO Anti Slavery launching a cry of alarm: "If you buy shrimp from Thailand, you buy the product of slavery."

Even though slavery is prohibited there, Thailand is still regarded as a hub of human trafficking. There would be a total of 500 000 "slaves" in the country.

After these revelations, the French distribution group Carrefour has decided to "suspend [its] direct or indirect purchases of CP Foods 7Eleven, until shed light [on the case]."

To complement investigation, Romain Boutilly and Philippe Mer visited in Thailand but also in Brussels, at the heart of Europe, where NGOs actively fight against these "shrimp of shame".

Suggestion:

Before entry into the CP ALL, such as 7Eleven to buy anything, think of the peoples who tortured, murder and doomed to slavery.
