Factory fires survivors still waiting for justice

It has been three years since a fire at a garment factory in Nischintapur, Ashulia in Bangladesh killed over 110 workers and left hundreds more injured. The relatives of the dead and the survivors are still suffering while company and government compensation has been inadequate. The fight for justice continues. This week, survivors of a similar fire just over three years ago in Karachi, Pakistan which left over 250 workers dead, are travelling to Berlin in their quest to get proper compensation from KiK, the company that was sourcing the garments that the workers were producing.
