Netherlands: Protesters call for independent investigation into MH17

Protesters at Eindhoven Station, Saturday, called for an independent investigation into the MH17 crash in Ukraine one year ago. The protest was organised by the movement 'Break the System.' The protesters expressed their disagreement with the way the investigation is being carried out by the Dutch government, and accused the Dutch media of spreading rumours regarding the tragedy. According to protesters, the truth is being masked. A total of 298 people, 196 of them Dutch citizens, died when the Malaysian Airlines flight came down in Grabovo, in the Donetsk Region, while en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. Despite the time that has passed since the tragedy, the cause of the crash has not yet been determined by the official investigation, which is being carried out by the Dutch Safety Board, although they released a statement in the latter part of 2014 stating the plane was downed following multiple high velocity objects piercing the plane's shell.
