Dear Colleagues and Partners

It is with a very heavy and grieving heart I share with you about the passing away of Karamat Bhai (Karamat Ali of PILER, Karachi, Pakistan)

An eminent labour and development activist for over four decades, Karamat Ali is the founding member of Pakistan Institute of Labour Education & Research.He is also founding member of various local and regional networks like Pakistan Peace Coalition, Pakistan-India People’s Forum for Peace and Democracy and South Asia Labour Forum. He has been a part of labour and peace movements in Pakistan and has played a key role in linking up these movements with regional and global counterparts

All our thoughts and prayers for him, his family and his countless
friends who admired and adored him as a brother, a guide,
a philosopher and a beacon of hope at all times.
