Division over the Sewol sinking

Twenty-eight rookie lawmakers of the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea hold a rally in front of Cheong Wa Dae, Thursday, to urge President Park Geun-hye to extend an investigation into the sinking of the ferry Sewol in April 2014, in which 304 passengers, mostly high school students, were killed. They criticized the government and the ruling Saenuri Party for obstructing the investigation, saying the government closed the probe in June although many suspicions surrounding the tragedy were not cleared up. / Yonhap
