Earth Postage Stamps--Peacemaker Series #98


Many will not know of this peacemaker, so here's a brief bio.

Iqbal Masih (اقبال مسیح) (b. 1982 - April 16, 1995), was a young Pakistani Christian boy who was forced into bonded labour in a carpet factory at the age of four, became an international figurehead for the Bonded Labour Liberation Front at the age of 10 after he escaped from servitude, and was murdered with a 12 gauge shotgun at the age of 12.
