…China Labor Watch (CLW) attempted to send $5,000 via Western Union to China for investigator fees. When our investigator went to receive the wired money in China, the bank told him that the funds had been frozen…Western Union said that it refuses to ever again wire money for CLW unless it receives copies of CLW contracts with funders and three investigators in China. In the last 13 years, CLW has wired money via Western Union to China over 200 times…wire transfers had all been successfully completed without Western Union demanding investigator contracts. CLW Executive Director Li Qiang said, “We did not know before this incident that Western Union would demand the contracts of our Chinese investigators. We are disappointed that Western Union would refuse to wire CLW’s funds.”
