The U.N. labor agency has criticized Myanmar for failing to abolish forced labor.The International Labor Organization says it is "deeply concerned" that the southeast Asian country continues to imprison people who have complained about forced labor.
Geneva-based ILO said Friday it has adopted a resolution calling on Myanmar to immediately release those prisoners.
ILO says its latest resolution also expresses concern about forced labor being used in infrastructure projects such as building oil and gas pipelines.
An official at the Myanmar's mission at the U.N. declined to comment.
ILO has accused Myanmar since 1998 of using forced labor to aid the military and build roads and other projects.
