South Korea: Victims’ Parents Assail President Over Government’s Response to Ferry Accident South Korea: Victims’ Parents Assail President Over Government’s Response to Ferry Accident
(about 1 hour later)
Parents of high school students killed in the capsizing of a South Korean ferry marched on the office of President Park Geun-hye in Seoul on Friday as prosecutors continued to try to determine who was responsible for the accident that killed hundreds of people. The parents, holding photos of their children, said they had come to ask for a meeting with Ms. Park to demand an inquiry into accusations that a slow and ineffective response by her government drastically increased the number of deaths. Two senior presidential aides met family representatives while hundreds of parents and their supporters staged a sit-in for 12 hours near the presidential palace. Meanwhile, prosecutors said Friday that they were seeking to arrest Kim Han-sik, the head of the Chonghaejin Marine Company, which operated the ferry, on charges of ignoring the overloading of the vessel. They were also looking into a family that owns a company that controls Chonghaejin Marine.Parents of high school students killed in the capsizing of a South Korean ferry marched on the office of President Park Geun-hye in Seoul on Friday as prosecutors continued to try to determine who was responsible for the accident that killed hundreds of people.
