“People should become complainants, and also the [court] prosecutor should do a preliminary investigation over this case.”
Although victims' families in the Diamond Bridge stampede have received some compensation, they also have the right to file formal complaints, an independent lawyer said Thursday.
“We have not seen people and victims exercise their legal rights after the tragedy,” said Kao Supha, as a guest on “Hello VOA” Thursday.
The bridge stampede left 352 dead, including one man who succumbed to his injuries in a hospital on Thursday, raising questions of official responsibility.
“People should become complainants, and also the [court] prosecutor should do a preliminary investigation over this case,” Kao Supha said.
Victims' families are expected to receive up to $12,000 in compensation from the government, the developers of Diamond Island and private donors. But a government committee said the bridge disaster was not the fault of any body or agency.
