"Our research has shown that the detainees in question, between the ages of 14 to 16 years, had worked at the school for about three weeks," the company said.

"This is not only a violation of the labor laws of China, is also a violation of the policy of Foxconn and immediate action taken to return to the detainees in question its institutions teaching. "
