The North Korean forced-labourers in the EU: A Vice report exposes that a number of North Koreans are working in forced-labour conditions in Poland, where they have worked in a shipyard on repairs to British and NATO ships as well as vessels belonging to Danish and Norwegian shipping companies, amongst others. Vice says there are over 50k North Koreans in forced labour overseas, generating Pyongyang around USD 2 bn annually. Poland is particularly important to them: As an EU country, it pays the highest wages compared to the other destinations that include Russia, China, Libya, and Algeria. “It seems that most of, if not all, the money that’s being earned goes to the state [of North Korea],” one Korean studies professor says. One North Korean worker interviewed does not know how much he earns, but says “when I return to Korea I’ll get the money.” (Run time 32:41)
