Calling for special law on crowd crush

Religious people and bereaved family members engage in a bow march with their bodies down to the ground, a Buddhist practice of bowing which stretches the entire body out on the ground, on a street in Seoul on Aug. 22, 2023, to pay tribute to victims of the Oct. 29, 2022, crowd crush and call for the special legislation of a bill to find out the truth behind the tragedy, in which a surge during Halloween celebrations killed 159 people in the capital's Itaewon district.
