Garment factory workers and relatives of those killed in Bangladesh's factory collapse that killed over 1,100 gathered in Savar a year after, on Thursday (April 24), to call for more compensation from owners.
On April 24, 2013, the eight-story Rana Plaza building in Savar, 30 km (20 miles) outside Dhaka, housing garment factories and shops collapsed.
