SEOUL, Dec. 3 (Yonhap) -- A local activist group lodged a lawsuit Wednesday with a Seoul administrative court demanding two branches of the presidential office disclose information about their initial response to April's deadly ferry disaster.
The 6,825-ton ferry Sewol capsized off the southwest coast on April 16, killing more than 300 people, most of them high school students on a school trip. The government's poor initial response has been cited as a key factor contributing to the high death toll.
