Textile workers set fire to the factory in Bangladesh on Monday in a third day of demonstrations for payment of wages, witnesses said. The workers were also protesting the deaths of two colleagues blamed on police firing over the weekend at a similar demonstration on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka.
