Authorities in Bangladesh have arrested three factory officials in connection with a fire Saturday that killed at least 110 people.

The police chief in the capital, Dhaka, said the officials were arrested Wednesday amid allegations that managers told employees to return to work after fire alarms rang, and that locked doors trapped workers inside.

Hundreds of workers were unable to get out of the fashion factory as the fire burned. Fire officials say a lack of emergency exits contributed to the number of deaths.

Thousands of workers protested for a third day Wednesday, blocking streets and throwing stones at buildings.孟加拉國當局逮捕了與上星期六火災有牽連的三名工廠官員。那場火災導致至少110人喪生。

孟加拉國警方首腦在首都達卡說，這三名工廠官員是星期三被逮捕的。有關方面指稱，在工廠火警警報響起後，經管人員要員工繼續工作，而且門被鎖上，工人無法逃生。

火災發生時，數百名工人無法逃離這座服裝廠。消防官員說，沒有緊急出口導致一些工人死亡。

星期三，數千工人連續第三天舉行抗議，封鎖街道，並向建築物投擲石塊。
