But today, it's publishing a report which says it deeply regrets using forced prison labour during the 1960s and 70s. Ikea commissioned the investigation after allegations were made by a former prisoner of East Germany's secret security service, the Stasi. Steve Evans sent this report from Berlin.
I'm in the Stasi prison just on the outskirts of Berlin. 102 cells here and they're pretty bleak. There's a cell here where light is kept out and where sound is kept out, thick rubble walls designed to break people's minds. 102 cells but actually some of those cells had more than one person. The allegation against Ikea is that it had a contract with the government of the DDR to make furniture. And that contract was fulfilled by prisoners, political prisoners from places like this.家具公司“宜家”已经发展为全球连锁公司，并且十分注意保护形象。但今天，该公司发表报告称非常后悔在20世纪60至70年代强迫监狱劳力工作的行为。在此之前，曾在东德秘密安全部门斯塔西服刑的囚犯控告了宜家，之后宜家委托人员进行了调查。Steve Evans从柏林发来报道。
我现在在就位于柏林郊区的斯塔西监狱，这里有102间牢房，环境十分阴冷。这里有一间牢房常年看不到光亮，也听不见声音，石墙非常厚，为的是削弱犯人的思想。虽然有102间牢房，但实际上有些牢房关了不止一个人。宜家面临的指控是该公司曾与德意志民主共和国 (DDR) 签订合同来制造家具，而该合同由来自此类地方的政治犯履行。
