1. The manager is also North Korean, quite the complicated workers’ protest.

8. > The riot occurred after word spread that other workers who returned home last year had not received their wages despite promises that they would be paid in Pyongyang.

   > North Korean authorities temporarily placated the workers by paying them their unpaid wages, while identifying about 200 people who played a leading role in the riot and repatriating half of them.

   The repatriated group was reportedly sent to a labor camp in North Korea and replaced with fresh workers.

9. -“Many former female soldiers in their 20s also participated in the riot, the source added…”-

   Give ‘em hell, ladies!
