Pakistan: Medics took three protestors from the site of a hunger strike outside a cement plant in Hattar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, to hospital in Haripur. The News International newspaper has reported that nine fired workers won a case before the National Industrial Relations Commission (NIRC) to be reinstated to their jobs at the plant. When not given back their jobs, they began the hunger strike on 17 February 2021.
The cement company said that it is appealing the NIRC’s decision.
Bestway Cement, Dewan Hattar Cement and Mustehkam Cement all operate cement plants in Hattar.
