He is killed

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Iqbal was a young Pakistani boy who was working in the carpet factory. He was forced into bonded labor to pay off his mother's debts.
  • He was forced to work for longer hours. The children who worked in the carpet factory were not allowed even to speak with each other.
  • His attempts to carpet ended in vain, and he was punished for trying to escape. Under the clutches of poverty and slavery, Iqbal still believed there will be some hope.
  • After being liberated from slavery, he went to study in the Bonded Labor Liberation Front (BLLF School). He then became a social activist with a view of abolishing bonded labor.
  • He won an award in the US. After returning home, at the age of 12, he was murdered.
