Malaysia: The communication records between the pilot and the ground are confidential. Media reports must be verified] When communicating with the families of the missing flight at the Lido Hotel in Beijing on the 23rd, the Malaysian side stated that the communication records between the pilot and the ground were still confidential. Because the incident is still under investigation, communication information cannot be disclosed.
Hao Junbo, a well-known lawyer who has represented many plane crashes, said that generally speaking, in order to prevent criminals from obtaining relevant information, the police will indeed take appropriate confidentiality measures for unsolved cases.
Family members, as parties involved, generally have the right to know the investigation information, but considering that the case has not yet been solved, they can also keep it confidential appropriately. But information that cannot be used by hijackers should still be released.
Lawyer Yao believes that in this catastrophic incident, the principle of criminal investigation confidentiality that reflects national sovereignty should give way to concern for life and death. National sovereignty should not be at the expense of people's lives and safety, and the public has the right to understand and grasp the progress of events.
The Malaysian government should promptly report the progress of the investigation and disclose confirmed information, and should not use criminal investigations as an excuse to avoid or conceal relevant information. However, Malaysia should only temporarily withhold information that is inappropriate for disclosure or that may affect the progress of the investigation for search and rescue purposes. After the information is confirmed or no longer affects the investigation, it should be disclosed in a timely manner and corresponding explanations should be given. Information that does involve national and military secrets must be made public to the greatest extent possible.
