North Korean Workers Allege Forced Labour Conditions in Russia

North Korean workers have told the BBC they are being sent to Russia under conditions they describe as akin to slavery, raising concerns over human rights abuses and the use of forced labour.

Interviews with defectors and sources familiar with the situation suggest that many North Koreans are compelled to work in harsh environments, with little or no pay, under strict surveillance. The labour is reportedly being used in sectors such as construction and logging, with earnings channelled back to the North Korean regime.

The allegations come amid closer ties between Pyongyang and Moscow, prompting calls from human rights groups for stronger international action to stop the exploitation and hold those responsible to account.
