Student's Fatal Fall During Immigration Raid Sparks Visa Reform Calls

The death of a Vietnamese woman during an immigration raid in South Korea is increasing pressure to change the country's work visa rules. Vu Tu Anh, 25, died after falling from the third floor of a factory in Daegu. She was hiding from immigration officers on an air-conditioning unit. The Hankyoreh newspaper reported she had been working illegally at the car parts plant. Anh was a former international student who had graduated from a South Korean university. Her death has intensified scrutiny of visa policies. Current rules make it difficult for foreign graduates to get work permits, pushing some into illegal employment. Advocates argue that strict regulations force people to take risks. They are now demanding policy changes to prevent similar tragedies.
