The Jeju Korea Immigration Service has granted refugee status to two Yemeni nationals who had applied to stay as refugees on Korea's southern Jeju Island.<br />The pair in question are journalists that had written articles critical of the Houthi rebels in Yemen.<br />Judging that there was a high possibility they could be kidnapped, murdered, or threatened by the rebels,.... the immigration service gave them the greenlight to stay as refugees.<br />For 50 other Yemenis, the service gave them humanitarian stay permits.... while rejecting 22 Yemenis' applications. <br />
