Fifteen crew members from the sunken South Korean ferry pleaded their case at a district court in South Korea on Tuesday, while the families of the hundreds of people who died in the disaster protested outside.

Kim Byung-kwon, the representative of the families of the victims, called for the death penalty for the crew of the Sewol.

The Captain (Lee Joon-seok) and three other crew members are charged with homicide - a charge that could carry the death penalty, though South Korea has not

executed anyone since late 1997.

Prosecutors accuse them of tacitly colluding to abandon the ship while being aware that the passengers would be trapped and killed when the ship sank.

All surviving crew members responsible for the ship's navigation have been charged with negligence and with failing to do their duty to protect passengers.

The captain's lawyer said the factors that caused the sinking couldn't be controlled by a captain who operated the ferry only six days a month as a contract worker.

The lawyer said the captain didn't flee the ship, tried to correct the ferry's balance and asked people to wear life vests, even though he was injured.

Members of the crew have claimed that after evacuating the ship they stayed with the Coast Guard and helped to rescue the passengers.

Nearly two months after the sinking, 292 bodies have been recovered and 12 people are still missing.

Relatives of victims of the Sewol ferry disaster said on Tuesday they will fight for justice after a South Korean court handed a 36-year sentence to the captain of the sunken ferry.

Gwangju District Court acquitted Captain Lee Joon-seok of a homicide charge because it was difficult to believe that he knew his actions would cause such a huge number of deaths, according to a court statement.

It said that Lee had issued an evacuation order.

The court did convict him however of being professionally negligent and abandoning his passengers during the disaster in April that killed more than 300 people.

Family members criticised the verdict for being too lenient, telling the media outside the court they would tighten their resolve until "we reveal the truth at the Court of Appeal through a Special Investigative Committee."

Whilst Ko Young-hee, the mother of student victim Choi Jin-hyuk said a Sewol Ferry Investigation Committee would now be formed that will collect evidence to send to the Court of Appeal.

"We will do anything to make the crew members....pay for their crimes accordingly" she added.

Prosecutors and the crew members have one week to appeal, according to the court.

The chief engineer got 30 years, and 13 other crew members were sentenced to up to 20 years in prison, Yonhap news agency and other South Korean media reported, citing the court.

Lee has apologised for abandoning the passengers, but said he didn't know his action would lead to so many deaths.

The widely vilified Lee could have received a death sentence for the homicide charges.

A total of 476 people were aboard the ship and only 172 of them were rescued.

South Korean prosecutors on Monday demanded the death penalty for the captain of a ferry that sank earlier this year, killing more than 300 people.

They blamed his negligence and failure to rescue passengers in need for the massive loss of life, a court official and news reports said.

Prosecutors also requested life sentences for three other key crew members during a trial at the Gwangju District Court in southern South Korea, a court official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorised to speak to the media about the sentence requests.

He said prosecutors asked for sentences of up to 30 years for 11 other crew members.

Some relatives of the victims who were present in court on Monday were not happy with the proceedings so far, however.

"We expect at least four crew members to receive death penalties including Kang Won-sik (the first mate) and the chief engineer. However, this is totally nonsense," said Kim Ki-woong, whose son was killed in the disaster.

Kim added that the truth about the disaster was not made clear and that "crew members are just trying to make excuses."

The 15 crew members tasked with the ship's navigation were among the first people rescued from the ship when it began badly listing, a source of the fierce public anger directed at them.

Most of those who died in the disaster were students from a single high school who were en route from Incheon, west of Seoul, to the resort island of Jeju on April 16.

Captain Lee Joon-seok and the three key crew members - a first mate, a second mate and the chief engineer - were indicted in May on homicide charges.

Eleven other crew members were indicted on less serious charges.

Court officials have said the court will issue verdicts on the 15 crew members in November.

The death penalty is the maximum legal sentence in South Korea, but the country has a de facto moratorium on capital punishment and has not executed anyone since December 1997.

South Korean courts, however, still occasionally issue death sentences.

The sinking, one of South Korea's deadliest disasters in decades, caused nationwide grief and fury, with authorities blaming overloading of cargo, improper storage, untimely rescue efforts and other negligence for the incident.

A French judge has refused a request to free the daughter of a South Korean tycoon who is thought to be the owner of a ferry that sank in April, leaving more than 300 people dead or missing.

French police arrested Yoo Somena on May 27 an international arrest warrant on suspicion of involvement in embezzling 8 million US dollars between 2004 and 2013.

She is the daughter of Yoo Byung-eun, a mysterious billionaire who South Korean authorities believe was the owner of the Sewol ferry.

The judge said on Wednesday that Yoo Somena, who is facing extradition to South Korea, might flee France where she has been resident since the beginning of 2013.

He noted that Yoo's brother, who also lived in France, disappeared in April.

Yoo's lawyer, said that she might get an "unfair trial" if she is extradited to South Korea.

"South Korean authorities will mistreat Madame Yoo the moment she steps foot in a Korean trial," Maisonneuve said.

He added that Yoo feels she is a victim of harassment by South Korean authorities.

Students who survived South Korea's Sewol ferry disaster were continuing their witness testimonies on Tuesday at the Ansan branch of the Suwon District Court.

On Monday students had testified that they were repeatedly ordered by loudspeaker to stay in the sinking ship, but eventually helped each other flee after their cabins flooded.

The six girls spoke at a court session for 15 crew members responsible for the ship's navigation who face charges of negligence and failing to perform their duties to rescue passengers, with four of them facing homicide charges.

The students from Danwon High School near Seoul revealed how chaotic the scene on the ferry was, saying they wore life jackets and were helped by friends to float out and leave flooded rooms.

One of them said she saw some schoolmates swept away by the waters.

The April 16 sinking left more than 300 people dead or missing, most of them Danwon students who were travelling to the southern island of Jeju for a school trip.

A total of 325 Danwon students were aboard the ship but only 75 survived, according to local officials.

At a district court in South Korea on Tuesday, relatives of the victims of the Sewol ferry disaster scuffled with court officials, stopping them from entering the preliminary hearing of crew members.

Fifteen crew members from the sunken ferry appeared at Gwangju District Court to enter pleas on charges that they were negligent and failed to save the more than 300 people who died or are missing after the disaster.

Court officials said they were trying to check the family members' admission permits, but the relatives of victims accused them of siding with the accused.

Most of those killed in the 16 April Sewol ferry sinking were high school students, and many people from the students' hometown attended the hearing.

All surviving crew members responsible for the ship's navigation have been charged with negligence and with failing to do their duty to protect passengers.

STORYLINE:

On November 11th 2014 crew members from a sunken South Korean ferry arrived in court on o hear the verdicts following one of the country's deadliest disasters in many decades.

The sinking of the 'Sewol' is believed to have killed 304 people, mostly teenage students travelling to a resort island for a school trip in April 2014.

295 bodies have been found.

The ferry's crew members are facing charges in Gwangju District Court of negligence and abandonment of passengers.

Prosecutors have demanded a death penalty for the ship's 68-year-old captain, Lee Joon-seok, and life sentences for three other key crew members.

They also requested that 11 other crew members be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison.

The 15 crew members on trial were among the first people to be rescued from the ship when it began listing en route from Incheon, west of Seoul, to the resort island of Jeju.

***

A South Korean court on November 11th handed a 36-year prison sentence to the captain of the sunken ferry 'Sewol', saying he was professionally negligent and abandoned his passengers during the disaster in April that killed more than 300 people.

The chief engineer received 30 years, and 13 other crew members were sentenced to up to 20 years in prison, Yonhap news agency and other South Korean media reported, citing the Gwangju District Court in southern South Korea.

Captain Lee Joon-seok and three other key crew members were earlier indicted by prosecutors on homicide and other charges.

Eleven others faced less serious charges.

Lee has apologised for abandoning the passengers, but said he didn't know his action would lead to so many deaths.

Prosecutors and the crew members have one week to appeal, according to the court.

The 15 crew members tasked with navigating the 'Sewol' have faced scathing public criticism because they escaped the sinking ship while many of their passengers were still trapped inside.

A total of 476 people were aboard the ship and only 172 were rescued.

Most of the dead were teenage students travelling to a resort island on a school trip.

Nearly seven months after the sinking, 295 bodies have been recovered but nine are still missing.

South Korean officials said earlier on Tuesday that they have ended searches for the missing because there was only a remote chance of finding more bodies while worries have grown over the safety of divers involved in the recovery operation.

STORYLINE:

Sewol ferry victims' families and other activists held a rally on April 11th 2015 in Seoul to urge the government to expedite the salvage of the sunken vessel.

Police estimated that around 2,500 took part in the rally, which included a march towards the South Korean Presidential Office.

There were clashes between some activists and police officers, who were blocking the protesters' access.

The South Korean government said on Friday that its feasibility study showed that salvaging the ferry is possible - but also said that it has not decided whether to do so.

The victim's families oppose the government's enforcement ordinance of a special law relating to the disaster, which they say is holding back a full, independent investigation into what happened.

The Sewol - carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School - sank on April 16th 2014.

A total of 295 bodies have been recovered. Nine others remain missing.

Officials have blamed negligence by crew members, excessive cargo and improper storage for the sinking, along with slow rescue efforts.

A court sentenced 15 crew members last year to between five and 36 years in prison.

***

Thousands of South Koreans gathered to try to set a new record for creating the largest candlelight image to commemorate the victims of the sunken ferry Sewol on April 17th.

The attempt came a day after the first anniversary of the incident, which killed over 300 people.

The initial target was to gather 4,160 people but the number eventually reached 4,475.

They stood in the shape of the sunken ferry, and demanded the South Korean government reveal the truth behind the incident, and salvage the sunken ferry to find nine passengers, who are still missing.

Jeon Myung-sun, the father of Jeon Chan-ho, one of the Danwon High School students who died in the incident, resolved to keep urging the South Korean government to punish the people responsible for the disaster.

Other participants also called on the government to do more.

The Sewol ferry sank on April 2014 off the southwestern coast of South Korea.

It was en route to Jeju Island, carrying 476 passengers.

A total of 304 people died, including 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan, who were on their way to their first field trip as high school students.

***

A South Korean appellate court on April 28th handed down a sentence of life in prison to the captain of a ferry that sank in 2014, killing more than 300 people.

The sentencing is harsher than a November verdict by a district court that sentenced Lee Joon-seok to 36 years in prison for negligence and abandoning passengers in need.

Lee's sentence was increased because the Gwangju High Court convicted him on homicide charges, according to court spokesman.

In the November ruling, Lee was acquitted of homicide.

The appellate court sentenced 14 other navigation crew members to 18 months to 12 years in prison.

In November they had received sentences of five to 30 years in prison.

Jeon said both prosecutors and the crew members have one week to appeal the verdicts.

Most of the victims were teenagers travelling to a southern island for a school trip.

A total of 295 bodies have been retrieved but nine others are missing.

The daughter of a South Korean fugitive businessman believed linked to a deadly April ferry disaster must stay in a French jail pending a decision on whether she is extradited, a court said on Wednesday.

Yoo Somena, daughter of billionaire Yoo Byung-eun, is facing extradition to South Korea based on suspicions of embezzling eight (m) million US dollars between 2004 and 2013.

She was detained on 27 May in Paris on an international warrant, but asked to be released pending the extradition decision on 17 September.

A Paris judge on Wednesday rejected the request, arguing that she could flee the country.

South Korean authorities are seeking to arrest Yoo Byung-eun, who is accused of tax evasion, embezzlement and professional negligence.

His family owns the parent company of the Sewol ferry that sank on 16 April, leaving more than 300 people dead or missing.

STORYLINE

The South Korean ferry captain responsible for last year's disaster that killed more than 300 people, mostly school children, was given an increased sentence of life in prison on Tuesday by an appellate court that convicted him of homicide.

A district court in November had sentenced Lee Joon-seok to 36 years in prison for negligence and abandoning passengers in need but acquitted him of homicide in the Sewol ferry disaster.

Victims' relatives criticised both verdicts, saying it was too lenient.

"He should have received death penalty. Imprisonment for life? They want to give life sentence to a person so that he can peacefully die when he is old?" Jeon Myung-sun, father of Sewol ferry victim Jeon Chan-ho told the protesting families of the victims who had staged a demonstration outside Gwangju High Court.

Lee's sentence was increased because the Gwangju High Court additionally convicted him on the homicide charges while upholding most of other charges that led to his November conviction.

Last week, South Korea formally announced it would salvage the ship from the ocean floor off the country's southwest coast.

Relatives of the victims hope that might locate the missing, including four students, and help reveal more details about the sinking.
