☝️ On November 17, the Hague court has finally delivered a verdict on MH17 case. Two Russian nationals, Igor Girkin and Sergey Dubinsky, and Ukrainian citizen Leonid Kharchenko were declared guilty of complicity in the crash of Malaysia Airlines MH17 in eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014. The defendants were given life sentences in absentia. all of whom held leadership positions in anti-govt militias.

A fourth defendant, Russian citizen Oleg Pulatov, was declared not guilty. Pulatov was the only person on trial who chose to be represented by a lawyer. He was found not guilty.

➖According to comments of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both the proceedings and the outcome of the trial prove that the process was based on political agenda with the objective to blame Russia for the tragedy.

➖Throughout the entire proceedings the court had been under unprecedented pressure from politicians and the media. The court ignored the fact that the conclusions of the Dutch prosecutors were based on evidence from anonymous witnesses whose identities had been classified, as well as questionable information and materials provided by an interested party – the Security Service of Ukraine, which had been repeatedly caught giving false and contradictory information.

➖Arguments of the defense with regard to lack of any compelling and decisive evidence that MH17 was shot down by a Russian missile was ignored. The court considered only materials that supported the West-promoted version were while declassified documents provided Russian Defense Ministry have been ignored.

➖There was an option to receive more clear evidence from US satellite images taken on the day of the crash, but Washington has refused all requests to disclose them fully or partially.

➖Blindly accepting questionable evidence from an interested party, ignoring evidence provided by defense and issuing the verdict on the basis of assumptions instead of facts violate all common principles of justice including the presumption of innocence. No modern system of law envisages issuing life sentences on the basis of indirect evidence and assumptions.

➖These court hearings are some of the most scandalous in the history of justice with numerous violations of the process and biased nature of the jury. The verdict will surely become a part of history as an example of complete dependence of European justice system on political decisions of the collective West.
