Regering medskyldig i Sewol katastrofe

En sydkoreansk domstol har nu slået fast, at den sydkoreanske regering har et medansvar for Sewol katastrofen, der den 16. april 2014 kostede 304 mennesker livet, heraf flest skolebørn. Retten slog fast, at færgen var i dårlig stand, havde for mange passagerer om bord og sejlede for hurtigt da den forulykkede.

Besætningen gav passagererne besked om at blive i deres kahytter, men valgte selv at forlade skibet. Endelig greb kystvagten ikke ind i tide.

De omkomne døde under særlig grusomme omstændigheder, mens de i deres kahytter afventede at hjælpen skulle nå frem.

Derfor besluttede retten, at de efterlaste skal modtage en erstatning på 177.000 dollar for hver af de omkomne, plus op til 70.000 dollar til hvert familiemedlem.

Skibets kaptajn er allerede idømt fængsel på livstid for sit ansvar i tragedien. Flere andre besætningsmedlemmer er idømt kortere straffe.
