They held a press conference in Seoul on Mar. 30, at which they censured the regime for checking the probe into truth behind the disaster.

The speakers at the conference urged the regime not to recklessly hold in check the probe into truth behind the disaster but to keep the promise it made to the bereaved families to find those missing to the last.

At the end of the conference the participants headed for Chongwadae to convey the document containing the requests of the bereaved families to it.

The regime hurled seven companies of the fascist police into blocking their march toward Chongwadae, creating a terror-ridden atmosphere.

The fascist policemen thickly encircled the participants and walked off protesters.

The bereaved families will reportedly stage a 416 hour over-night sit-in till April 16, a year since the disaster.
