During a reading tour and in a video, survivors and survivors' dependents talk about their struggle.
260 casualties, 32 wounded: The result of the Ali Enterprises factory fire (Karachi, Pakistan) on September 11, 2012. The factory's main customer was the German textile dealer KiK. The workers suffocated or burned to death because they could not leave the building. The survivors and survivors' dependents have been waiting for compensation from KiK for almost 4 years. In the meantime, they have founded a self-organization and have sued the company in Germany.
The victims talked about their struggle – the legal procedure in Pakistan, the complaint against KiK and their political activism – during a lecture tour in Germany.
