Nawabshah’s B-Section and Baluja police station contingent conducted raid at an alleged private jail of an influential landlord, according to police officials.
The peasants recovered from the private detention camp were produced in the sessions court, which ordered the police to release the recovered persons, police officials said.
In previous month police had conducted raid at another private detention camp in Matiari district, which was constructed over a brick kiln in the area where the suspects had reportedly detained 15 persons forcefully.

Reports about bonded-labourers camps frequently surface in media in the past. Bonded labour has been outlawed in Pakistan and most other affected countries in line with the UN conventions on human rights. It is a type of forced labour and according to media reports, more than four million people, including women and children, work in almost 20,000 brick kilns across Pakistan to pay off family loans taken from the business owners.
