Angry relatives ask Malaysia to communicate

Relatives of passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 protested in front of the Malaysian embassy in Beijing again on Friday, asking the Malaysian government to restart communications with its technical experts and release the materials on which it based its conclusion that the missing flight "ended" in the southern Indian Ocean.

More than 100 family members walked to the Malaysian embassy north of Liangmaqiao Road at 11:30 pm on Thursday. They returned to the Metropark Lido Hotel at around 5 pm on Friday after a Malaysian official from the embassy came out and accepted their written protest.

The group said they protested because it had been promised that representatives from both the Malaysian government and Malaysia Airlines would join every news briefing, but only airline representatives attended the one that began at 3 pm on Thursday.
