A candlelight vigil on May 17 in Seoul, South Korea turned into angry demands for the Park Geun-

hye government to resign over the Sewol ferry disaster. Citizens claim the media was being controlled to

conceal the truth behind the failed rescue operation.

The ferry was carrying 476 people when it sank on April 16, 2014, 325 of the passengers were children. So far the

captain and 3 of the crew have been indicted on charges of manslaughter due to negligence. Citizens are outraged at

the government and media for not reporting truthfully on the incident. Reports of missing and dead were still

changing this week, one month later.

Initial reports indicate possibly 50,000 people gathered in protest to demand a clear investigation into the disaster

requesting the truth be told and shown and calling for the resignation of President Park Guen-Hye over how the

tragedy has been handled.

The police arrested protesters and even young school girls who were gathered peacefully. Estimates say about 115

people have been taken to the police station.
