#MH17trial Ws gaat het om video gemaakt in Snizhne, geplaatst op n YouTube kanaal. Dat kanaal werd een uur vóór (!) opname van de video aangemaakt. Buk zou toen nog in Torez zijn. Pas 4 uur na de ramp werd video daadwerkelijk geplaatst en na 1uur alweer verwijderd. 1/
2/In dat uur werden vertrouwde kanalen (bv. Euromaydan, Eliot Higgins) benaderd en op de video opmerkzaam gemaakt. De kopieën stroomden over t net. Vreemd genoeg kregen 2 bronnen een hoge resolutie versie van de video: een oorlogspropagandakanaal en blogger/influencer Ukraine@war
3/De Russen claimen dat deze video op 16 juli is gemaakt ipv de 17de, op basis YT bug.
#MH17 trial continues today & tomorrow with particularly the responses of Prosecution (OM) on the requests by defense for additional investigations. This is still preliminary phase of #MH17Trial, arguing on what is necessary to complete the dossier before moving to merits phase.
OM: we will respond to and advise court on the various investigation requests by defense last June and since. OM submits a number of general points that are critical on the way that the defense is approaching the case >
For example, that defense is selective when it invokes the complexity of ongoing armed conflict; and that only investigation requests that can shed new light are relevant, but that it is not up to the defense to decide what the prosecution is about and how long trial will take.
Judge starts by explaining the #Corona measures when resuming the #MH17trial this morning. Important to proceed but with only the 3 judges, 1 prosecutor, 1 attorney for the victims, 1 clerk, no one else. You can follow via livestream content.uplynk.com/player5/2zSmhp… #mh17proces #MH17
When #MH17 trial proceeds on 8 June, the defense can still request for investigatory measures. Court agrees that defense needs more time to prepare. The Court does not impose a deadline for the defense to respond to issues before 8 June, agreeing with the defense's submission.
Court decides that Prosecution has not sufficiently motivated the necessity of an inspection at the site of the reconstruction of the plane and how they suggest this would look like. Decides Prosecution needs to motivate this further.
While people like Peter Hitchens & other conspiracists are still trying to paint @bellingcat as some kind of untrustworthy or shady organisation, our methodology is being used and presented to the court in the #MH17trial.
The narratives that have been generated in an attempt to discredit @bellingcat’s work are fascinating.
Those people can’t decide whether they want us to be some kind of CIA run super-op, or literally just @EliotHiggins sat on a sofa.

Despite claims that we aren’t independent, I think the closet I’ve come to being asked to write something is “that looks interesting, think it’s worth an article?”.
The reality is that we choose our topics of research based on what we think is important and interesting.
