The man pictured above is Usman Mahar, vice-president of the labour union in Mari Gas Company. This man was allegedly kidnapped and tortured by a group of masked men, who went on to shave his head, and pierce his nose with a cord of threads. Mahar claims these men were hired by his manager at the Mari Gas Company, in response to his active opposition to certain contract policies.This is the state of Pakistan's labour force. The highly under-paid workers suffer further ridicule when their union leaders, trusted to safeguard their rights, are subjected to torture and humiliation.
