Some of the world's best known tobacco companies have been accused of turning a blind eye to the exploitation of child labour in Indonesian plantations that serve as their suppliers.

The tobacco industry employs about six million Indonesians. The figure includes many children that face hazardous conditions while working on the fields.

Human-rights groups have long noted the dangers of working in tobacco farms, especially for vulnerable youth children.
