Victims' Families Request to Review Court's Refusal to Inquire the Lamma Island Ferry Disaster
The Lamma Island Ferry Disaster is a ferry collision Lamma Island which killed 39 people in Hong Kong in 2012.
The family members of the victims received a notice from the Coroner’s Court in Nov 2020, stating that the cause of death was clear and decided that no inquiry shall be held.
The families wrote to the Coroner’s Court to request for a review of the decision. It has been 8 years since the ferry disaster.
When asked about the recent inquest on the death of Chow Tsz-lok and the new evidence presented to the court, the family members explained that holding an inquest would give them a better chance to gather more information to reveal the truth. “It's like putting together a puzzle, you might be able to find the piece that you have lost”.
Former legislator of the Democractic Party, James To Kun-sun, held a press conference with the family members and the survivors on Dec 5, 2020.
To had sent a letter to the Coroner’s Court on Dec 1, 2020 to request the Coroner to reconsider the review.
