    Exploitative Conditions at Myanmar's Wawlay Magic Garden District

    The Wawlay (Wolay) Magic Garden District in Myanmar is described as a 'living hell' where employees are subjected to long hours of forced labor, sleep deprivation, verbal and physical abuse, and false promises. Workers are trapped due to high sales targets and deductions from their commissions. The neighboring district is even more violent, with reports of torture and forced labor. The park's director, Li Fei (also known as Old Ten or Shili), is accused of lying and exploiting workers.
