What did the carpet mafia do that killed iqbal masih?

Iqbal Masih, a young Pakistani boy and child laborer, was murdered by the carpet mafia because he spoke out against child labor practices and sought to expose the exploitation of children in the carpet-making industry. His activism threatened the profits of the illegal operations that relied on child labor. After he escaped from bonded labor and became an advocate for children's rights, he was targeted for his outspoken stance, leading to his tragic assassination in 1995.
