Kyaw Zay Ya is portrayed outside his home in Mae Sot. Together with other factory workers, he went to the Labor Law Clinic to launch a legal action against his former employer. He became the leader of the court case. “I feel angry about the situation,” he says. “I have been working in that factory for more than 10 years.” Currently, the case is still under examination. When he is asked for permission to publish his name and portrait, he says: “ Show my face. I am telling the truth.”
