Pakistán - Oil workers dismissed and beaten for complaining (2010)

In July, 29 workers at the Pak Arab Oil Refinery (PARCO) were dismissed summarily after over 18 years service in Punjab. The workers went to the local Multan Labour Court to complain at the unfair dismissal. The court decided in favour of these workers and ordered the company management to reinstate the workers. However, the order was not carried out. Instead, when the workers went to the factory with their court orders, they were threatened and beaten by security staff.
