one worker burnt to death
Dear all,
last night, we heard the terrible news that one worker, an active member of the power looms union body was found from a factory. We had reported to police that one of our workers is missing since 24 June. Last night his body was recovered from the burnt factory, which was under contrl of the same boss who has fired on the workers. He had three other workers forced to reamin in a room who were recovered live from the same factory by police. One Ajmal, a 20 year old worker's body, totally burnt by the bosses was found. A murder case been registered against the boss who is member of Punjab Assembly and a supporter of Gneral Musharaf. Yesterday, hundreds of workers went to faisalabad walking 15 kilometers ina rally while the negociations were going on with he administration. The administration has accepted most of the workers demands and it was agreed that the strike will end today. But after hearing the news of the death of a worker, factories remained close. Over 4000 attended the funeral of Ajmal this morning at Sudhar, Faisalabad. I will write a detail report later.
Comradely,
Farooq Tariq
