BBC: 800 North Korean forced laborers work in Poland

According to an exposé by BBC, some 800 North Koran citizens are currently working in Poland, including in the Szczecin shipyard, allegedly handing over a large portion of their earnings from their forced labor to support the North Korean regime. Undercover journalists interviewed construction workers, foremen and security guards in Russia, China and Poland. According to the North Korean embassy in Warsaw, all North Koran citizens work legally, in accordance with the Polish law and EU regulations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs told PAP that no new work permits have been granted since 2016 and that the number of North Korean workers is currently below 400. UN resolution passed in December 2017 ordered all its members to expel North Korean workers within 24 months.
