Furniture by political prisoners

Lately I have become pretty obsessed with shopping for furniture and decorative pieces for my dorm room for next year. One place that I often shop for these types of things is Ikea. Ikea is less expensive then their competiters, easy to assmble and who doesn't enjoy a ride on their giant escalater or a trip to their swedish cafe? However, threatening to tarnish the squeaky clean reputation of Ikea, are new allegations that the furniture manufacturer utilized free labor from political prisoners in Germany and Cuba. Ikea has responded to these allegations made by a swedish news station by launching their own investigation and interviewing employees.
