Zambia probes shooting of workers at China-run mine

Quote:

Zambian police are investigating claims that managers at a Chinese-run coal mine in the south of the country shot and wounded at least 11 miners.
Reports say the Chinese managers had opened fire on Friday because they felt threatened by miners who protested about their working conditions.

If it's true it's appalling.:erm:
