It reiterated that pilgrims require a Haj visa and it can be obtained through recognised official channels
On Wednesday, South Korea's Prime Minister Han Duck Soo said that the police would have to explain how they responded after receiving multiple emergency calls in the time leading up to the Halloween party crush, that killed more than 150 people in Seoul.
On Saturday night, 156 were killed and 151 were injured, leaving 29 in serious condition. At least 26 citizens from 14 countries were among the dead.
Tens of thousands of young revellers had crowded into narrow streets and alleyways of the popular Itaewon nightlife district for the first Halloween festivities in three years — virtually free of Covid-19 restrictions.
"The police must conduct thorough inspections and provide a clear and transparent explanation to the public," Han said at the televised beginning of a task force meeting on the disaster.
A transcripts of emergency calls released by the police on Tuesday showed the first warning of a possible deadly crush, roughly four hours before the disaster.
The police received 10 other similar calls before the chaos was known to have turned fatal, according to the transcripts.
