The Malaysian government must step in and arrange an extradition.

A few months ago, Amnesty heard from Pannir's sister Angelia.
She talked about her childhood memories with her brother and the impact his sentencing has on her and her family.

In the lead up to an upcoming @amnesty.org launch on garment workers in South Asia, we're publishing a series of blog posts that explain some of the issues in the report.
To kick things off, we're talking about living wages, how they're calculated and why they are different than the minimum wage.

What is a living wage and why is it a human rights issue?
