Reply to comment by trueloveskissss in Government censorship and lack of accountability - Korea by FadiAlbouni

I believe they want the government to take accountability. Make up for the hurt this caused. Regardless of what they want out of this situation, I believe it’s our human right to express our honest opinions and protest. Governments should not deprive us of that.

It absolutely is and freedom of speech should absolutely be protected and promoted. Is accountability in a form of government paying the families money? If a more strict policies are established to monitor crowds, would this satisfy the protesters? Are they expecting the President to step down? I’m not from there so I would like to learn the protesters/families point of view.

They’re demanding that Yoon Suk Yeol steps down. People aren’t willing to forgive the government’s incompetence. The government on the other hand, isn’t taking demands, putting 11.000+ police officers in Seoul to prevent anti-government protests, when they haven’t deployed them to prevent the crowd crush.
