Family members of the passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are still seeking answers and closure six months after the plane´s disappearance.
But at an emotional gathering in Beijing on Monday, relatives´ sorrow was mixed with fierce resentment of Chinese authorities who they feel have turned against them after dozens of family members were reportedly beaten and arrested in recent months.
Chinese passengers account for about two-thirds of the 239 people aboard the Boeing 777, which vanished on March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
About 30 of their relatives gathered at Beijing´s Lama Temple, a popular Tibetan Buddhist site, to vent their frustration and pray for the missing on a day that marks both the six-month anniversary of the flight´s disappearance as well as China´s traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for families to reunite.
