The Church Women's Federation in a statement denounced the "government" for not protecting the life and safety of the people.

It urged the "government" to introduce a special prosecution system and institute a special law and thus clearly probe the truth behind the disaster and take measures to prevent the recurrence of similar disaster.

A religious organization in a commentary said the Park Geun Hye regime revealed its general inability this time.

It underlined the need to establish a system for respecting life and safety of the people with the ferry disaster as an occasion.

The National Federation of Young Men's Christian Associations issued an appeal calling for forming an all-people committee for proving the truth behind the ferry Sewol disaster.
