North Korean workers allegedly entered Russia on student visas to work in factories

Nikkei Asia, citing Global Rights Compliance, reports that a Moscow businessman allegedly supplied North Korean workers disguised as students to Russian companies through an online platform. Reuters, via The Straits Times, says the group alleges workers entered on student visas to evade UN sanctions and faced threats of retribution. The group says some worked at a military rations factory and North Korea took much of their wages.
