Tech firm Apple is facing demonstrations at about six of its retail stores around the world.

Customers concerned about how suppliers treat their factory workers in China and other locations are said to be the reason behind it.

The protests come after an online petition of the same concerns reportedly drew almost 200,000 signatures, after being launched two weeks ago.

Targeted locations are believed to include stores in Washington, New York, London, Sydney and Bangalore.
