On July 17, 2014, an aviation accident occurred in the east of the Donetsk region involving a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, which was performing a scheduled #MH17 flight on the Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur route.
A few hours after takeoff, the board was hit by a 9M38 series missile fired from the Buk anti-aircraft missile system.
298 people died.
On June 23, 2022, PACE concluded that “the most convincing scenario for today is MH17 shot down by the Russian Buk”. A similar version is followed by the International Criminal Court.
Russia continues to publicly reject the findings of the investigation and deny any involvement in the disaster.
This week we remember the #Srebrenica genocide victims.
This is a nomadic art installation from Aida Šehović called Što te nema (Why aren’t you with us?) reminding of the suspected 8372 men and children systematically killed in the week preceding the 11th of July 1995.
With the ongoing Russian invasion on #Ukraine, the spotlight should be again on this troubled community.
Now in Bosnia-Herzegovina, #Srebrenica happens to be located within the Serb entity, which represents 49% of the country. On the image above you can read in Cyrillic "Protectors of the orthodox faith" showing Milorad Dodik (Serb Presidency Member of BiH) and Putler together.
Farmers have lobbied for decades to get a lot of leeway when it comes to polluting, reality has finally caught up to them and now they're complaining about an issue they caused themselves.
Great lockdown measures you have there in China mr @zlj517... Very, as you call them "humanitarian"
@zlj517 This is another step in China's never-ending campaign to annihilate human rights:
Hundreds of human rights lawyers (not even dissidents, just the LAWYERS who defended people) were snatched by gestapo all over China in what is known as the 709 Crackdown: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/709_crack…
One of those lawyers, Wang Quanzhang was sentenced to 4.5 years for "subversion of state power". But that's not enough. China actually went after Wang's 6-year-old son, forcing him out of his school and banning any other school from taking him in.
JUST IN: RIA Novosti reported that the “DPR” suggested using chemical weapons in #Mariupol.
(with translation)
A source close to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said that the likelihood of the Russians using chemical weapons is very high.
In the meantime, we are waiting for official comments and reactions from world leaders.
Note that the production and use of chemical weapons is prohibited in the world by the Convention on chemical weapons is an international treaty within the UN.
