In this case, five defectors walked into the Indonesian embassy in Vietnam

JAKARTA (Antara): Indonesia has sought an assistance from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to help five defectors who entered the compound of the Indonesian embassy in Vietnam on Tuesday.

The dissidents’ identities were still unclear as they did not bring any legal documents.

However, the defectors held a piece of paper that said they were North Korean refugees, who wanted to go a free country.

“This afternoon (Wednesday), we talk with the UNHCR to help resolve this problem,” Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Desra Percaya said. (***)

As much as I criticize the UN, it’s likely they are safe. A good move by Indonesia.
