Iraq Labor Trafficking in Court
This is the first, of what may be similar ones, to be scheduled in a US court related to contractors in Iraq:
KATHMANDU, Dec 30 - The hearing on a human trafficking case filed against prominent U.S. military contractor Kellogg Brown and Root Inc. (KBR) operating in Iraq on behalf of families of 12 Nepalis killed in Iraq in 2004 will begin on January 12 next year at the District Court of California, Los Angeles.
The US based law firm Cohen Milstein, which has been fighting against the wrongdoings of big corporations, had filed a lawsuit on August 27 this year with the help of Buddhi Prasad Gurung as witness.
