In 2013, when I joined King's Ely, I introduced a unit drawing on the work of Fashion Revolution: an organisation that started on the day of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh in April 2013.
The owner of the factory fled after the collapse, and was eventually arrested but actually charged initially with tax offenses rather than mass murder...
The Rana Plaza collapse was one of several similar incidents, some including fires rather than collapses, and people trapped by poor attention to health and safety.
Ian Cook et al completed some work exploring the lead up to the collapse, using LEGO reconstructions.
A few weeks ago, someone tweeted from the Dhaka Tribune that the murder trial is finally going to get underway and over 500 witnesses are going to be called.
