Chinese police are investigating reports that a group of people with mental disabilities have been working in slave-like conditions.
The 11 workers were apparently sold by an unauthorised charitable organisation to a factory in the country's north-west.
Reports say the workers were unpaid and lived in appalling conditions.
Media reports suggest the workers lived as virtual slaves. They were given no pay, no protective clothing and had not showered for years, according to the Global Times newspaper.
