MH17 trial will test Netherlands for fairness of justice

71

A few days remained before the start of the trial in The Hague on the July 17, 2014 crash case in the sky over the Donetsk region of Ukraine of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing-777 aircraft operating on the MH17 flight from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).

In this terrible disaster, 298 people were killed.



Court hearings cover with a veil of secrecy


The trial of MH17 will begin on March 9 at the Schiphol trial complex. It is called a maximum security court, because the building has enhanced security measures. Four judges were appointed to hear the MH17 case, one of them was reserved (so that, for example, in case of illness of one, the case would be continued without interruption). Judge Hendrik Steingayus became the chairman. And the process promises to be a test for objective justice for a country that has decided to deal with this lawsuit.

Experts do not expect a quick verdict of judges. Most likely, the process will drag on for years. Indeed, in the case of more than 30 thousand pages. This mass of material has to be disassembled in the most thorough manner. Since the evidence and other evidence collected by a special investigation team, cause mixed opinions of experts and lawyers.

The Dutch prosecutor’s office did not bother with these doubts. I simply filled out the collected material in the form of an indictment and submitted it to the court. Although not. The prosecutors not only supported the controversial version of the investigation team, but also decided to cover it with a cover of secrecy.

On Tuesday, the Dutch television and radio company NOS, citing a bill of indictment, said that 13 witnesses in the case of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing-777 in Donbass will remain classified. The Netherlands Prosecutor's Office believes that the health and safety of these people are at risk. At the same time, as noted by NOS, one of them was denied anonymity, since it is “almost impossible” to guarantee it.


What “baggage of evidence” did the prosecutor bring to court?


Admittedly, the situation around the process was not simple. However, not to the extent that there is a real threat to the participants in the hearing. The prosecutors need a veil of secrecy in order to be able to manipulate the MH17 case, which from the very beginning acquired an international political character.

The Dutch prosecutor's office has a special role in it: to organize a demonstration trial of pre-appointed defendants. Their names are famous. These are three Russians - the former “Minister of Defense” of the DPR Igor Girkin (Strelkov), Sergey Dubinsky (call sign Khmuryy), Oleg Pulatov (Gyurza), and Ukrainian citizen Leonid Kharchenko (Krot).

There is also a “former commander of the DPR air defense” Vladimir Tsemakh. Last summer, the investigation team retrained him from witnesses to suspects. After that, the Security Service of Ukraine stole Tsemakh from Donetsk Snezhnoye and arrested.

Apparently, Tsemakh did not present a great value for the Dutch investigation. In the fall, he was transferred to Russia for the exchange of prisoners. For decency, the Dutch were indignant, but quickly turned the arrows to Moscow.

“Russia's insistent demand to give Zemakh to her testifies to the fact that Moscow confesses its guilt in the crash of the Boeing-777 of flight MH17,” local media outlets replicated the version of the authorities. New variations were launched about how the Russian Bug complex entered the territory of Ukraine and then fired at a Malaysian civilian airliner.

Actually, this is the main accusation of the investigation team, supported by the prosecutor's office. Its meaning is to confirm Russia's involvement in the death of the liner and to justify all subsequent political and economic sanctions that have been imposed on our country.

The bias of the investigation outraged the authorities of Malaysia - the owner of the dead ship. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has publicly stated that the main task of this investigation was not initially to establish the truth, but to accuse Russia of the death of the Boeing-777 of flight MH17.


What did the investigation not recognize?


Malaysians de facto left the process after the investigation completely ignored the materials submitted by Russia. Among them were satellite observations made at the time of the disaster, documents confirming the Ukrainian identity of the rocket that shot down the plane, and other materials.

Doubts about the impartiality of the investigation appeared in the Netherlands themselves. The country's parliament demanded that the government investigate the role of Ukraine in the crash of the Malaysian Boeing. Deputies drew attention to the fact that Ukraine did not close its airspace due to military operations in the area of ​​international air routes.

They also asked where the records of the negotiations of the Ukrainian dispatching services had gone, and the dispatcher himself, who had tracked the flight of МН17.
The initiative of the deputies did not find government support. Questions in Ukraine remained unanswered.

As the authorities ignored, the film investigation of the Dutch journalist Max Van der Werf about the Malaysian Boeing disaster, in which the journalist presented inconvenient for the investigation evidence that Russia was not involved in the disaster.

The other day Van der Werf again became a troublemaker. He published a letter dated September 21, 2016 to the Netherlands military intelligence, sent to the country's prosecutor's office. The document provides information on the location on the day of the crash of the Buk air defense system belonging to the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Intelligence wrote to the prosecutor’s office: “It becomes obvious that MH17 flew out of range of all detected Buk-M1 deployed air defense systems.

The journalist did not rule out that data on Ukrainian systems may not correspond to reality. “It is striking,” writes Van del Verfa, “that the Dutch military has detailed information about the positions of the Russian Buk systems that were not at their bases, but most Ukrainian Buk systems did not leave their bases according to the document. Is it possible to believe that during the "anti-terrorist operation" Ukraine left its air defense systems at the bases, instead of deploying them in positions? "

The doubts of the Dutch journalist were shared by Russian experts. This is what the famous military expert, reserve colonel Viktor Murakhovsky said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda. “You have to understand that the Dutch have no space intelligence satellites,” said Colonel Murakhovsky. “But they have access to the NATO database.” Satellite images of the state of this area the day before the crash of the Malaysian Boeing have already been published. There you can clearly see the positions of the Buk air defense system of the Ukrainian division, which was much closer to the crash site of flight MH-17 than 66 km reported by the Dutch. Within the radius of the lesion. "

With all these arguments, rejected by the investigation, the court will now have to deal with it. We will find out whether he will be as engaged and biased as a special investigative group, or find the strength within himself to withstand political pressure - we will find out in the near future. The trial in The Hague awaits trial for justice.

      It’s been said a hundred times and for a long time everything is clear, his militiamen mistakenly shot down, which is already, the first data is the most reliable, I personally saw Strelkov’s video that they shot down a Ukrainian plane, crashed there, on that day only MH-17 fell, what’s already , it’s better not to justify oneself, but in general to not spread any news, it looks silly, like a child who can be seen to be lying, but continues and continues, funny and frivolous for a big country

          I can confirm under oath that on the day of the disaster there was a video on the Russian Spring website indicating Strelkov that they shot down a Ukrainian transport plane, crashed somewhere behind Torez (I don’t remember exactly, but I checked, the area coincides with MH-17). Then the video was removed, but it went online and appears in the case materials already. As for the rest - I don't know, there is no evidence that Russia was involved - in my opinion, but everything is clear with the militia. There is also Ukraine's fault, but if we divide it as a percentage, then it is least of all - the sky has not been closed, I think this approach is objective according to the available facts. Everything else, both "pro-Russian" and "pro-Ukrainian," I consider unproven propaganda and disinformation.

            I can already say now that the decision that the Boeing was not shot down by the Russian Buk, but that it was “biased”, “politicized”, “pre-assigned” - that the Russian Buk was shot down, will be considered “objective”. What will be shown as evidence will have absolutely no meaning, you can get to anything in the form "but prove that this is not a fake ... but prove that your proof of authenticity is not fake (...)" and so on until infinity. There are no options that people with the position "come on, prove it to me, and I will dig into everything that you show me" will reconsider their position. They will simply reject everything, it is very easy to do. Yesterday they demanded witnesses, and today they say that the witnesses were bought for Dutch citizenship.

                      Malaysian Boeing brought down Ukraine from Washington’s filing. And they need to evade responsibility for this crime, blaming themselves on Russia, not involved in the tragedy.

                      Moreover, it was not just a provocation of Ukraine / USA against Russia, but it was Washington’s attempt on Ukraine’s Presidential Airport 1, at which Putin was supposed to fly from abroad when he returned to Russia.
                      Ukrainians simply identified as airliners. The sizes on the radars of the Malaysian and the Russian presidential airliner are the same, the colors of the airliners are also similar. The Presidential Russian airliner only has 4 engines, while the Malaysian one has only 2. The Ukrainian pilot Voloshin reported this error when he became close to the Malaysian Boeing.

                        It is a pity that the video and sound recordings that were immediately published on the Internet after the crash of the Malaysian Boeing, now the Internet does not show - does not find.
                        And so I remember the recording of a conversation between Kolomoisky and a Ukrainian official about the shooting of a Malaysian Boeing.
                        In an intercepted conversation, Kolomoisky was informed that the plane turned out to be completely different from the one they had previously assumed.
                        It is noteworthy at the same time that in the conversation there was a restrained attitude to this message on the part of Kolomoisky himself. It was clear that Kolomoisky was aware of the upcoming operation, but apparently he didn’t really agree with its implementation, but someone still insisted.

              It is impossible to draw conclusions without having studied the materials of the case, you cannot send the case to court, having an unrebutted alibi. We were taught that way. Therefore, from my point of view, the position (and principles of the investigation) of those who accuse Russia is no better than the one you described above, which describes Russia's attitude. I don’t know the materials in detail, my information is only from the media, I make corrections for bias, but I still wonder - what about Strelkov (do I have little idea of ​​the role of others in the conflict in the Donbass)? What is his specific fault in this episode? Or (to bind specific individuals) assign a criminal community? request Blame it already that belonged to him ?! Then where are a number of Russian officials? In general, from my point of view, regarding Strelkov, to put it mildly, unconvincing.

                It is possible if you are not a court, and your conclusions do not entail legal consequences. No one can forbid anyone to draw conclusions, and to draw conclusions is, in fact, a normal occupation for a thinking person. Moreover, in fact, this always happens in conditions of incomplete information, this is also normal. The ability to draw adequate conclusions in the face of incomplete information is analytical ability. I also don’t know what exactly Strelkova will be charged with, this does not prevent me from drawing conclusions about the existing arguments that Buk, which brought down the Boeing, came from the 53rd air defense missile near Kursk.

                  I agree. But with a reservation - if the information that I am based on is true. One had to face in life when the situation, which seemed obvious, ceased to be such when thoroughly examined. With this reservation in mind, Buk is very similar to authenticity. But there is evidence that contradicts the guilt of the militias. And I did not see their refutation. Maybe because I didn’t dig so deep into resources. Yes, and no desire. I know that only one distorted word, even intonation, and an innocent person, in your eyes becomes guilty. Until you get to the bottom of this distortion. And so - draw any conclusions you want. But they can only matter to you. As an entertainment, gymnastics of the mind.

            Strelkov's statement was, the plane fell in this area ... The plane crash was seen, passed by authority, and since they could not shoot down anyone above 5000 meters, here you are and AN24 ... Just a little nuance: the plane crash from the position of the APU-30 -40 km distance, and Gotroshenko made an OFFICIAL confirmation of the downed Boeing at the moment when the last wreckage of the plane had not yet fallen.

                I also remember this discrepancy. Namely, that Poroshenko announced the downed Boeing, when the plane was still calmly in the air. In my opinion, about an hour before its fall. The media drew attention to this.
                Poroshenko for some reason issued a "false start" with his message about this news in the media. Reported earlier than the event itself.

Some were shot down by mistake, according to your version, while others did not do what they should have done so that this mistake did not happen, more precisely, they did everything to make it happen. The fault of Ukraine is obvious and primary, regardless of whose missile hit the plane. Even with your proposed scenario. And it is simply monstrous if it was shot down by Ukraine. It's almost impossible to hide behind a mistake. Well, except for the classic for Ukrainian rulers: "Just think, it happens. And there is nothing to do tragedy."

What they captured couldn’t shoot. Otherwise, where did the version about the import of beech from the Rostov region come from? I remember for a long time they discussed one little photo, such as a beech being taken. As a result, the version was not dragged by the ears. And the fact that the Ukrainian beech could be fired, which was nearby for some reason, everyone forgets. And here’s a riddle for me, why didn’t F. F. Berezin be taken as an accused? He is an LDNR activist, at that time he was in the militia and, most importantly, a professional anti-aircraft gunner, he studied and exploited a beech at one time .. It seems to me personally that an anti-aircraft gun officer will undo their business on a professional level.

                        I would love to read the point of view of a real anti-aircraft gunner if it couldn’t shoot like that on the net, because there weren’t enough spare parts / personnel, an objection to the Ukrainian beech is that the damage on the Boeing’s cabin is from the side from which the DPR’s territory would be fired, pictures Of course, they can be a throw in hot pursuit, however, in court this will need to be refuted with facts in hand

                        Well, maybe the professionals will answer. It was only once written that in order to shoot a plane that goes 10000 meters, you need a + command post + radar + fire engine. Something like this.

                        Actually, there’s more than one photo .. There are a lot of these photos and videos from different places .. According to which the route of this beech was made there and back.

                        What are you saying? And even made up the route back? Is it okay that there are a bunch of bridges and even one dam with a limit load of 25 tons? A BUK weighing 37 tons with missiles cannot even go over, and even more so with a tractor weighing 14 tons, which in general is 49 tons - even more so. Or do you have what BUK learned to fly? And how there, so you can safely throw out one video in Zugres, it was shot a MONTH before the events, the operator himself announced this.

              I agree, it was incorrectly stated where I looked, now I checked, it’s clear that there were Buki, because there are fragments of a rocket and damage on the plane, it’s not clear whose, which, in fact, was previously clear

        It’s been said a hundred times and for a long time everything is clear, his militiamen mistakenly shot down, which is already, the first data is the most reliable, I personally saw Strelkov’s video that they shot down a Ukrainian plane, crashed there, on that day only MH-17 fell, what’s already , it’s better not to justify oneself, but in general to not spread any news, it looks silly, like a child who can be seen to be lying, but continues and continues, funny and frivolous for a big country

      An example clearly shows where is tactical success and where is strategic defeat. A recent example, Iran shot down a plane, there is a video - they recognized, punished, whatever else you present, they will pay compensation. The story is tragic, but it ended. It happens that the perpetrators have been held accountable, the question is closed. Tactically, the damage - yes, strategically, the losses are minimal. What about the MH-17? There is a shot down plane, there is a video with a confession, but there is no one responsible, there is constant misinformation and an attempt to blame the plane of the Ukrainian Air Force, stories about the "Spanish" dispatcher and the cherry on the cake from Strelkov, about the fact that the corpses were stale and this is a NATO provocation, tactically - we excuse ourselves at the very least, but over time it all falls apart, strategically - this story has been spoiling our image for many years and will spoil even longer, it was easier to say that a mistake, the perpetrators were punished and sentenced to death, here are their bodies, who is there will understand from what they died, you could even pay compensation, that's all - the question is closed, as in the case of Iran

        This is all true. But if these are all the same militias, then how was it to be admitted with so many lies about the absence of our any fate in Donbass? Some kind of initially wretched position .. It is not clear ... It seems that smart people should do this ... Conversations are intercepted, passports are presented, only the lazy cannot find information or the zombie does not want to ... But "we are not there." Stupid. Worse than the Korean Boeing.

          Worse than with Korean Boeing.
          Korean Boeing CIA special operation. Several American aircraft were shot down there, all military. And this Boeing conducted radio traffic for an hour after it was "shot down" over Sakhalin. Information from the book of the French journalist (former military pilot) Michel Bruno "Sakhalin Incident". In Donbass, it was also not someone's mistake, but a CIA special operation. What is at least a record of "intercepted" conversations. Assembled a day before the incident and posted on YouTube two hours before it.

    The court will investigate, or pretend to be, with the data that the prosecutors gathered, this is understandable, let's see how it will be. Another thing is not clear - for some reason no one recalls the first Boeing, which was completely lost. It seems that there are no beeches in the South China Sea, and the three-hundred-ton liner has somehow disappeared from the echelon, and not without its oddities. Two identical aircraft of the same AK were lost for six months for some inaudible reasons, and for some reason this does not cause any questions. But after the story with 737mahs a lot of things surfaced about the Boeing’s internal kitchen. Where are the guarantees that the Malays did not get a couple of boards with some rare defect, which ultimately led to the destruction of the liners? There, we are talking about huge sums, it is possible that there is a corporation in general, and paying for a shitty process with accusing us of all our sins is a penny, it’s also politically beneficial, but no one will remember about the Boeing itself — an ideal translation of arrows.
    This is all of course IMHO, even easier, thinking out loud - well, flight 370 doesn’t stick in the picture of the world at the same time as the booth around the 17th., All this is wrong ...

    We have hunter 1 and hunter 2.
    Recently, hunter 1 smoothed out chunk 2.
    Hunter 1 is ambushed by a wild boar.
    Hunter 2 is hunting in the same forest.
    O2 invited citizen M to hunt with him and urged him to crawl on all fours in the bushes near O1. Moreover, it was in these bushes that O1 already overwhelmed a couple of boars.
    A shot is heard, O2 calls the police and claims that O1 killed M.
    Police blame the store that sold the O1 gun.
    Well, that’s so, simplistic. In the process, it turns out that no one saw a gun at O1, while O1 took boars to a trap. But O2 had a gun with itself. And the bullet was out of the box O2, and there is a check. True O2 claim that he gave a cartridge to a friend, and O1 took them from a friend, but no one confirms this.
    And here is the court, the seller, the chief of the warehouse and the driver of the hunting store are judged.

    Secrecy in such matters is excessive and spoils everything.
    It would be necessary before the trial (with time left) to provide the media with the array of data that "justice" rejected. To systematize it and provide it with high-quality translation. Different "experts" also need time to express themselves. This, at the very least, casts doubt on the "effective start of the process."
