| Subject: Nonsense on stilts: Mining magnate Andrew Forrest announces coal conversion deal to free 2.5m from slavery in Pakistan Fri Jan 24, 2014 1:38 am | |
| Australian mining magnate Andrew Forrest has announced a plan which he says will free 2.5 million people from slavery in Pakistan.
Mr Forrest has signed a deal with the Pakistani state of Punjab which will give it access to Australian technology which can convert lignite coal into diesel.
In return, he says Pakistan has agreed to bring in laws which will tackle the problem of slavery, or bonded labour.
The Global Slavery Index, compiled by Mr Forrest's Walk Free foundation, estimates that some 16 million people in Pakistan and India are held in slave-like bondage through debt and forced labour.
Mr Forrest announced the deal in the Swiss resort of Davos, where world leaders are meeting for the World Economic Forum.
