"North Koreans exploited on Polish tomato farms"

According to South Korean television network KBS, North Korean women workers are being deployed as forced laborers at a tomato farm in Poland. The workers reportedly work 70 hours a week but are only allowed to take home $75 in monthly pay, KBS reported Tuesday. The women were being held in confinement at a farm in Sarnow, about 170 miles southwest of Warsaw, the Polish capital. In June, Poland stated North Korean workers were no longer being permitted to enter the country.

North Korea's deployment of forced laborers, about 50,000 in total, according to one South Korean estimate, earns the Kim Jong Un regime up to $300 million a year.
