We must not forget about the North Korean slaves in Malta

A new article in The Telegraph reports on the plight of North Korean slave workers. It mentions those “in Poland, Malta and a dozen other nations, according to the UN”.

The government is probably relieved that the press is no longer chasing up on this matter, despite the news, which emerged through a question in parliament, that North Koreans have been given visas to come to Malta and work since March 2013.

North Koreans are NOT permitted to travel at will. Any North Koreans outside North Korea are dispatched by the North Korean dictatorship as slaves to earn foreign currency for the state. Human rights organisations say that there are as many as 100,000 of these slave-workers outside North Korea, who pay earnings of around £1.5 billion a year to their rulers back home.
