Two female Vietnamese workers who have taken legal action against an employment agency over claims of sexual abuse said yesterday that they were pressured by an official at the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei to drop their lawsuit. The official denied the accusation.
Foreign labor rights advocates yesterday condemned the office's pressure and called on other victims to step forward and fight against injustice.
At a press conference held by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT)Legislator Joanna Lei (??) and the Legal Aid Foundation, which was established last year to provide free help to the underprivileged, the Vietnamese workers accused the official from the economic and cultural office of trying to intimidate them.
