North Korea demands "thorough investigation" into treatment of diplomats in Finland
The Associated PressPublished: February 25, 2007
HELSINKI, Finland: North Korea has demanded an investigation into the treatment by Finnish police of two of its diplomats, after they were evicted from a train because they allegedly failed to produce travel documents, officials said Sunday.
Finnish police told the Foreign Ministry that the two men — en route from Moscow to Helsinki on Feb. 13 — had not produced train tickets, identification papers or any documents indicating they were diplomats, ministry spokeswoman Tiina Myllyntausta said.
"North Korea has requested a thorough investigation, which we will give," she said. "We have asked border and customs officials and police for all the necessary information."
The two men, who allegedly ousted a female ticket collector from their compartment after she asked to see their tickets, were subdued by police and taken to a police station in Kouvola, 140 kilometers (90 miles) northeast of Helsinki.
They were released after they proved their diplomatic status and continued their journey as planned by passenger ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm, Sweden, officials said.

Ping!
OMG maybe they are p***ys Tiger do you have tough looking North Koreans in your photoshopping skills
Acting like Muslims now.
N. Koreans are only infidels who can scare the crap out of Jihadis.:-)
Maybe those damn Mongolians LOL!
"NK outraged by rights abuses"
pot, meet kettle
Good analogy. The Fins probably made the NKs take a sauna and snow bath. That's rough!
If he resists, memorable experience of his life.:-) His "body" will definitely remember it for a long time.
They should be uncommonly grateful for not being thrown out from the moving train to freeze or feed the wolves.
DAMN i remember South Park episodes LOL!
You are right about that, especially after the 2 Koreans ganged up on a FEMALE ticket agent.
The Fins do not take kindly to foreigners roughing up their women. It brings out the Viking Sagas in them!
Now if this case were being investigated in the US, the border guards would have something to sweat about.
