India child garment workers found


They say that the boys were embroidering saris and wedding clothes in a sweatshop when police and activists swooped to rescue them.
Officials say it is the third such raid made this week, following a report on Sunday in a British newspaper on child labour in Delhi.
The boys are reported to be between eight and 14 years old.
Activists say they were mostly the children of poor farmers from the poverty-stricken eastern state of Bihar.
