Relatives of missing Malaysian airliner MH370 protest outside embassy in Beijing against shoddy probe
Dozens of angry relatives of passengers on lost Malaysian jetliner MH370 clashed with police officials in Beijing on Tuesday, accusing the Southeast Asian country of delays and deception in probing loss of the airliner.
This move came a day after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Rajik confirmed that the plane crashed in remote seas off Australia.
Nearly 100 relatives and their supporters marched to the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing, where they threw plastic water bottles and tried to rush the gate and also chanted 'Liars', as per news reports.
Family members demanded to speak with the Malaysian ambassador, even though police said he would speak with them at a Beijing hotel where Malaysia Airlines has given briefings on the plane's disappearance.
People wore white T-shirts that read “Let’s pray for MH370” as they held banners and shouted, “Tell the truth! Return our relatives!”
A statement on the ministry’s website said that Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Hangsheng told Malaysia’s ambassador that China wanted to know exactly what led Najib to announce that the plane had been lost.
The relatives with tear-stained faces, had linked arms and chanted, "Malaysian government has cheated us" and "Malaysia, return our relatives" as they marched peacefully.
