Seven female workers were killed yesterday when locked doors and windows prevented them from escaping a fire at an unlicensed factory in Shenzhen. The factory windows had been blocked with metal screens designed to prevent break-ins. The owner of the factory was detained after the accident. This is not the first time that locked exits and a lack of fire escapes have resulted in tragedy at private factories in Guangdong.
