Islanders flock to Charlottetown Flea Market for affordable finds amid rising costs | SaltWireSEOUL - South Korea's National Assembly voted on Thursday to approve a bill backed by the ruling and opposition parties to launch a fresh probe into the deadly Halloween crowd crush in the capital Seoul in 2022.
Under the bill, a committee made up of members recommended by two major parties and a chair chosen by them through consultations will look into the tragedy. It also comes amid growing pressure on authorities, including from relatives of the victims, to hold those responsible to account. The Halloween crowd crush in Seoul's Itaewon district in 2022 killed nearly 160 people and relatives of the victims as well as the United Nations Human Rights Committee have since called for an independent inquiry.
