Human Rights Group Cites Child Labor on Philip Morris Farms

Human Rights Watch released a video today alleging that children as young as 10 years old are working on tobacco farms for Philip Morris in Kazakhstan. A Philip Morris spokesman tells the New York Times the cigarette maker is opposed to child labor and would work to stop the practice. This video includes an interview with a child who claims (at 4:20) she misses school and sleeps only four hours a day when working the fields.
