Permanent road closures, traffic diversions from July 20 on Klang’s Jln Langat-Jln Batu Unjur junction after JKR approves final design, says LRT3 project contractorFlight MH17 was shot down by a Russian-made BUK surface-to-air missile over eastern Ukraine, as it passed on a flight line toward Kuala Lumpur.
A Dutch court has sentenced in absentia three men to life imprisonment for their roles in bringing down the plane over separatist-held pro-Russian territory, during the early stages of a war that saw Moscow seize the Crimean peninsula.On Wednesday the names of all the victims — 196 of them Dutch — will be read during the commemoration, its organisers said.Advertisement
The three suspects refused to take part in the legal proceedings or acknowledge their roles in the incident.Judges ruled that Girkin, Dubinsky and Kharchenko could all be held responsible for the transport of the BUK missile from a military base in Russia and deploying it to the launch site — even if they did not launch the missile themselves.
Australia and the Netherlands have an ongoing case against Russia with the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency with limited enforcement powers. When the verdict was handed down, a spokesman for the victims’ families told AFP he hoped it would help families move on. Van Zijtveld said that for relatives, including several of his own who will be attending on Wednesday, July 17 remains a hard day.
