Justice Deferred for Lamma Ferry Victims' Families The families of the victims of the 2012 Lamma ferry disaster have abandoned their judicial review bid after being denied legal aid.
This decision marks a somber milestone in the long struggle for justice and transparency that has been ongoing since the tragedy.
On October 1, 2012, the Lamma IV ferry sank near Lamma Island after colliding with the catamaran Sea Smooth, resulting in the deaths of 39 people. The ferry was carrying 124 HK Electric employees and their relatives.
