This is one of the saddest and most angering stories I've ever heard

[Oeditpus Rex]

Just saw it on Story Television. It's 30 years old, but I'd never heard it.

Iqbal Masih (Urdu, Punjabi: اقبال مسیح; 1 January 1983 – 16 April 1995) was a Pakistani Christian child labourer and activist who campaigned against abusive child labour in Pakistan.

He was assassinated [at 12 years old] on 16 April 1995. On 23 March 2022 (Pakistan Day), he was posthumously awarded the Tamgha-e-Shujaat by the government of Pakistan.
