Burning of Bangladesh Garment Factory (2) (24th Paranormal Incident)

Of course, many parents in Bangladesh are understandably doing this, and when poverty overwhelms the family, "the children of the poor are in charge" becomes a forced response. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But if there are people who specialize in child labor to make money, they are "vampires"! In Bangladesh, child labor has become a chain of benefits that can make people rich quickly, and of course there are some greedy people who covet it, such as Mdlivke, the director of an orphanage in Bangladesh (Editor's note: The name has been changed to prevent readers from being seated. )!

In Bangladesh, orphanages are equivalent to welfare homes in China, and are public welfare units supported by state funding. Mdelivk's position as the director of an orphanage is equivalent to a national cadre, and his income should be relatively stable, and compared with the vast number of poor people, his life should be described as "worry-free". The family is also relatively harmonious, and according to relevant news reports, Mdelivk's wife is not involved in the work and is fully committed to raising three children at home. Some readers may ask, is it a little tiring to rely on one person's salary to support the life of five people? So I might as well tell you clearly here - it may be possible in China, but not in Bangladesh! Let me give you a more common example: Bangladesh ranks eighth among the top 10 countries with the largest number of Chinese immigrants, ahead of the United Kingdom and Spain. You might be surprised, right? In 2013, the countries with the largest number of Chinese immigration destinations were the United States (2168251 people), followed by Japan (629148 people) and Canada (614,500 people), South Korea fifth (512705 people), Australia sixth (414583 people), seventh Singapore (365797 people), and eighth was Bangladesh, with a total of 168119 people. Although Bangladesh is poor, due to the influence of religion and culture and the huge labor market, it is a country that our people yearn for, in this country, the price is low, as long as you can earn money, you can have a good life. To put it bluntly, even if Mdrivk earns $300 a month, this income is more than enough to support a family of five in Bangladesh. The author would like to mention here in passing that Mdrivk's wife's father is a supply officer in a certain district of Bangladesh, and this position is equivalent to the deputy head of the district economy in charge of the district level in our country. Can you understand? The economic situation of Mdrivk's family is still good.

But such a dean who has no worries about food and clothing, in the face of financial interests, also shows the most greedy nature of people. Initially (in 2006), Mdrivk was approached by the owner of a garment processing factory and said that many of the children in the orphanage have turned 10 years old, and we will take care of them three times a day, arrange accommodation, let them work for us, we will give you all their salaries, and you will decide the distribution of these wages. On the surface, it seems that he can have a part of the salary income of child labor, but in fact, those orphans are taken out of the orphanage, and the money saved by three meals a day can also be filled with their own pockets, one thing, two more incomes, why not? So in front of interests, the Mdrivk negotiated the price with the business owner, and after some "bargaining", it was finally confirmed that Mdrivk was willing to give 10 children over the age of 10, and their wages were 85 taka per day (editor's note, Bangladeshi currency, equivalent to 1 dollar). )。 As for whose pockets this money ends up in, everyone knows it! Because of this precedent, Mdrivk's "business" began to flourish, many garment processing factory "business owners" have found Mdrivk, there is a phenomenon of short supply, and in the end, in order to maximize profits, Mdrivk even let eight or even six-year-old children go to garment processing factories to earn ill-gotten gains.

This one...... In the end, something went wrong......

After the first batch of ten child laborers came to the garment processing factory, they can basically be described as "exploited" treatment, the type of work they are engaged in is to cut threads, this work seems simple, but if they sit on a small horse, and then in the mountains of ready-to-wear clothes, work 15 hours a day, all year round, if the sampling process, found that a thread is not cut, may be obligated to work overtime for 1 hour more work intensity, I estimated, in addition to the child's unique innocent accident, Everybody is going to crumble in front of this job.

What kind of food and living conditions can be exchanged for high-intensity work? The author has seen the relevant photos, the picture on the photo can be described as "shocking": a small room of less than 10 square meters, there are 5 children, the children's food and drink are in this small room, every morning at 6 o'clock, the foreman will appear on time at the door of the small room, organize these child laborers, and then bring them breakfast. Breakfast is nothing more than the leftover rice balls eaten by the foremen overnight, thinned, sprinkled with a little salt, and eaten in ten minutes, and if you can't eat or don't want to eat in ten minutes, you can only eat it at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Bangladesh is located in South Asia, when it comes to hot days, the temperature can almost be described as "hot suffocation", don't expect air conditioning and electric fans in a small room of 10 square meters, at most the foremen will prepare a fan for each of them, this fan is expensive, what if the child laborers have no money to give? When processing, as long as the child laborer is willing to work an extra hour of overtime a week, he or she will receive a fan for free. 7 hours of overtime in exchange for a dilapidated fan, apart from these forced child laborers, who else would be willing? But even if they worked hard for 7 hours in exchange for the fans needed to cool down, but in the face of the sweltering heat, the child laborers still could not "survive", so on September 13, 2006, an accident occurred: 2 child laborers died due to playfulness.

Playing with death? Maybe the reader doesn't understand it when he reads this, does this have anything to do with the heat? Yes! The real truth is that the two children died of heat stroke, and the "business owner" of the garment processing factory, in order to avoid causing trouble for himself, lied that the two children were greedy for fun after work, swimming and playing in the nearby river, and finally accidentally drowned! The "business owner" also dealt with it very simply and straightforwardly, throwing the two children who died of heat stroke into a nearby river, and then contacted Mdrivk to say that the children had drowned after work. This reason is very appropriate, although Mdelivk is "expensive" as the dean, food and clothing are worry-free, but he is also well aware of the "people's suffering", and the "business owner" arranged for the children must not have heatstroke prevention equipment, so it is understandable that the children went to the river to cool down after work, and finally caused the accident of drowning. Mdrivk no longer held accountable for drowning, but blatantly took on the matter of compensation with the "business owner", and the "business owner" finally paid Mdrivk a lump sum of 42,500 tak (equivalent to 500 US dollars) per person in order to calm the situation.

The real names of the two children are unknown, but their names at the orphanage are: Bhasin and Bhamodi.

There are two types of funerals in Bangladesh, such as burial and cremation, but due to religious beliefs, 90 percent of the citizens of the most densely populated country in the world prefer to be buried with a larger footprint. Although the state encourages cremation, the people are not very interested in it. In order to maximize the "value", Mdelivk used cremation for the funeral of Bhasin and Bamodi, which was rewarded by the state, and for the protest voice of all local religious people, Mdelivk's voice of justice is: respond to the call of the state and advocate cremation! But here's the irony: Mdrivk himself was a loyal "advocate" of burial. (To be continued) (To be continued.) )
