Pakistan kiln laborers hemmed in by debts they can't repay

Brick makers and others live a life of indentured servitude known as bonded labor. They must borrow to live, and their debts pass on to their children when they die.

MULTAN, Pakistan — The mounds of clay are so heavy that they have warped Shahbaz's creaky wooden cart. The 10-year-old boy's spindly arms struggle with the weight, about 45 pounds. He teeters as he wheels cartload after cartload to his mother, a waifish woman crouched on the ground who is turning the wet clay into bricks at a rate of three per minute.
