Owner of Collapsed Bangladeshi Garment Factory Faces Murder Charge

HeadlineApr 16, 2014

An owner of the Bangladesh garment factory where hundreds of people died last year is facing charges of murder. The collapse of the eight-story Rana Plaza was one of the worst industrial disasters in history, killing 1,135 garment workers and injuring more than 2,500. Bangladeshi police say they will charge Sohel Rana with murder as part of indictments that include around 40 other people. The disaster’s one-year anniversary is next week.
