'This disastrous incident was not caused and exacerbated by a single cause or person,' says Lee Jong-seok, a justice at the court.
SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea’s top court on Tuesday, July 25, ruled against a parliamentary vote to impeach the interior minister over a botched government response to a deadly Halloween crush in Seoul last year, sparking anger and dismay among relatives of the victims.
“This disastrous incident was not caused and exacerbated by a single cause or person,” Lee Jong-seok, a justice at the court said, adding that different government agencies did not have the ability to respond in a united manner to large-scale disasters. Dozens of relatives and supporters gathered in front of the court chanting “condemn the constitutional court that gave immunity to Lee Sang-min!”
