SEOUL: More than 30 student survivors of South Korea's ferry disaster marched on parliament Wednesday to press demands by victims' relatives for an independent inquiry into the tragedy that claimed around 300 lives.

The students accompanied by their parents had left their high school in Ansan, south of Seoul, on Tuesday to walk the 20 miles (32 kilometres) to the capital's National Assembly building.
