Dunkin' Donuts has apologised after it ran an advertisement in Thailand featuring a woman in "blackface" make-up. The advert, which was used to promote the donut giant's "charcoal donut", was called "bizarre and racist" by a leading human rights group.

Dunkin' Donuts chief executive in Thailand defended the campaign, but a spokesman for Dunkin' Brands told the Guardian on Friday it would immediately pull a planned television spot featuring the imagery.
