Six North Korean citizens working illegally in one DPRK-run restaurant in Thailand were arrested last November and deported ahead of a late-December UN-mandated deadline, according to a sanctions implementation report released Wednesday.
Their status as illegal workers was discovered after Thailand conducted inspections on three North Korean restaurants in the country on November 29, the report said.
