All of the relatives of these people will be put to death.

Arm them and place them along the boarder.

Kind of weird. Earlier today I was checking out the Izziban Korean BBQ & Sushi buffet restaurant in the area. I might eat there soon even though a bit pricey.

Workers at restaurants are among some 50,000 North Koreans who human-rights groups estimate are based outside the country and expected to send most of their income back to the government. In other words they are slaves.

I stand corrected. I would think they have NK secret service watching them all the time, especially in China. But I guess if China “let” them escape, that could mean China is not happy with what NK is doing at this time.

NK secret service watching them all the time They do. Those in charge at the restaurant will be severely punished. China is less than happy with N. Korea. However, they only do some act of token protest. This could be one of them. Not substantive in the long-term but making things a little harder for Pyongyang.

A very astute observation. It could also be that the right palms were greased with some good ol’ fashioned capitalist cash too. As FReeper central_va stated upthread, the families of these now-free North Koreans will doubtless be put to death, or tortured to the point where they will pray for death.

“Offering the finest North Korean cuisine!”
I can see the menu now:
Grass and wildflower salad
Bark soup
Entree - Bark and leaves casserole
For dessert - ice.
I’m afraid that bark and leaves cannot aspire to the status of cuisine, even if you throw in roots!

To discourage defection, workers at North Korean restaurants, as well as diplomats and others who are allowed to travel, are generally required to have family members remain in North Korea.The spokesman said the group was concerned about their families and he called on North Korea not to punish them.
Hostages.
A technique originating in the USSR.
Hope they all kissed their mom and dad good bye.
