Relatives of flight MH17 victims against Russia’s returning to PACE

The Netherlands Plane Crash Foundation, on behalf of a large group of relatives of the Boeing MN17 plane crash victims, opposed the return of the Russian Federation voting rights in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), NOS reports.

The foundation sent the relevant letter to the PACE. It notes that Russia does not cooperate with the investigation regarding the MN17 catastrophe, as well as spreads false information about downing of the aircraft.

“Russia cannot simply get the right to vote in the Council of Europe. This is possible only under the strong guarantees that Russia will cooperate with the investigation of the MN17 catastrophe,” the foundation said.

As The Journalist reported, US calls on Russia to ensure those responsible for MH17 crash “face justice”.
