More than 100 relatives of passengers aboard missing Flight MH370 staged a sit-in protest outside the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing late Thursday amid claims that they had been snubbed.
The family members allege that Malaysian officials went back on promises to meet with them.
“We will keep waiting here,” said Steve Wang, who is a spokesman for the families. “[Prime Minister] Najib had said that his government has established good communications and relations with the families.
So we are here to demonstrate to the world what his so-called ‘good communication and good relations’ look like through the media. They have again deceived [the world].”
