North Korean citizens who attempted to gain access to the technical documentation of the state-owned Pivdenmash machine-building plant, Ukraine’s leader in the rocket and aerospace industry located in the city of Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk), in 2011 and were sentenced to eight years in prison, could be released early in accordance with the Savchenko law, Anton Gerashchenko, a People’s Front parliamentarian, said.

“North Korean citizen Lyu Song Chel is still serving a sentence at Zhytomyr penitentiary No. 4. Li Te Kil is serving his sentence at Zhytomyr penitentiary No. 8,” Gerashchenko said on his Facebook page.
