Iqbal Masih
Iqbal Masih nació en 1982 en Pakistán. A los cuatro años de edad, su padre lo vendió como esclavo a un fabricante de alfombras por 600 rupias, unos 12 dólares, para pagar la boda de su hijo mayor. Desde ese momento, Iqbal fue obligado trabajar más de doce horas diarias encadenado a un telar y era sometido a constantes palizas.
A los 10 años de edad logró escapar de la fábrica pero las condiciones infrahumanas en las que vivió causaron serios estragos en su cuerpo. A los doce años de edad tenía la estatura y el peso de un niño de seis.
On April 16, 1995, Iqbal who was a member of the children's section of the Liberation Front of Forced Labor in Pakistan, was assassinated at the age of 12 years by the mafia of the tapestry, after many threats, businesses close which all workers were child slaves. His example was learned internationally, winning in Stockholm and Boston and dedicating the award to open a school, showing the placement of the cornerstone of its intention to become a lawyer to continue the fight against child slavery.
