The Advocates of IUFE prove their experience and their success.  After a long battle  Advocate Veerji Kolhi with the combined efforts of Civil Society Members and the support of the International Community won a great victory against injustice.  The Seventy two victims of Bonded Labor  who were denied assistance from the Welfare Agencies of Pakistan  despite court order have now received their long awaited justice.  Work is now commencing to rehabilitate these people to become skilled workers with capability to support themselves and their families.  These victims suffered ten years of abuse, torture, rape and the snatching of their personal possessions and animals under the cruel chains of Bonded Labor.  This is a great victory for Advocate Veerji Kolhi as an experienced professional in this field.  The greatest victory of all is that which comes with Freedom and Justice.  IUFE sends congratulations to Advocate Veerji Kolhi for this success which truly came against all odds. The people can now celebrate their freedom and live their lives freely as they choose without fear from harm.  When people work together for the common good, there is an ultimate victory.  Positive change is not possible without the efforts of all human beings.  We never give up the hope of peaceful coexistence and justice for all humans.  We are working for equality for all men, women and children who are subjected to the cruelty of slavery.  We will never stop our efforts until we see a change in legislature allowing equality for all despite religious affiliation, race, color or creed, equal citizenship for all and freedom from any death threats  or threats of bodily harm.  Congratulations to our Civil Society members working toward these goals.  We know that positive change is possible with the efforts of all humanity.
