Hundreds protest MH17 'genocide' outside Russia, Ukraine embassies
About 300 Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth members protested at the Russian and Ukrainian embassies in Malaysia, demanding the two governments answer for what they called the “genocide” of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 passengers and crew.
Tuesday's protests came a day after Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak revealed that backroom negotiations with pro-Moscow rebels allowed Putrajaya to secure the return of the passengers’ remains recovered from the crash site as well as the plane’s black boxes.
But the protestors, all clad in black T-shirts emblazoned with “#justiceforMH17” written across their chests, said recovering the black boxes is not enough and that both governments must do more to shed light on what had happened to MH17, believed to have been shot down in separatist-controlled Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
