Beijing: Chinese relatives of passengers aboard missing flight MH370 have marched to the Malaysian embassy in Beijing, some demanding to be taken to the Indian Ocean island where suspected wreckage from the plane was found.
Most of the aircraft’s passengers were Chinese, and around 30 of their relatives protested near the embassy, as dozens of police blocked off roads near the building. Earlier they gathered at an office in the hope of meeting Malaysian officials, although none arrived.
Several demanded that Kuala Lumpur organise travel to the French island of Réunion, where a wing part, which Malaysia’s prime minister, Najib Razak, said came from the plane, was washed ashore.
“We want to go to the island and see the truth,” said Lu Zhanzhong, whose son was on the plane, adding: “I want to see if my son’s luggage is there.”
Lu held a sign appealing to China’s president, Xi Jinping, to help find the missing plane, but had harsh words for the dozens of security personnel present.
“The Chinese government has only repressed us. Look at all the police here. They come to our houses and stop us from giving interviews. They want to cover up the truth,” he added.
