Investigations Tuberculosis cases trigger mandatory treatment of North Korean workers in RussiaCourt documents provide a peek at early DPRK labor migration, raising concerns over workers’ living conditions in Russia
 Editor’s note: This article is part of an NK News series exploring Russia-DPRK relations based on court documents. Russian authorities ordered more than 30 North Korean nationals to undergo tuberculosis treatment in Moscow in 2024 and 2025, according to court documents, belatedly confirming DPRK labor flows into Russia and a suspected infection outbreak among overseas workers. Most of the cases reviewed by NK News date back to late 2024, when Moscow authorities sought to force DPRK citizens into tuberculosis treatment facilities, citing public safety concerns. The 33 cases involving North Korean nationals went unreported by local media and officials. Court © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
