       MH370失联至今已六个多月，飞机搜寻无果，机上人员音讯全无，虽各国动用了大量的人力、财力、物力投入到搜寻调查工作，但迄今为止仍未获得实质性结论。所有旅客亲属备受煎熬，各亲属、家庭和单位都遭受到不同程度的损失。虽然我们旅客亲属正处在极度的焦虑和痛苦之中，但我们始终在努力推进搜寻调查工作的开展，以争取早日得出客观结论。

       近来社会上出现一批以“MH370”为素材的出版物及展览。该类作品直接以“MH370”作为作品名称、主题或者背景，且毫无根据地推断“全体旅客失去意识继而死亡”，没有确凿证据便臆断“飞机和机上人员均整体沉入印度洋海底”。

       在“MH370”事件尚在调查之际，该传播行为，让目前举步维艰的旅客亲属受到又一严重打击。在没有切实证据证明事件结论之前，我们旅客亲属决不放弃任何希望。

       在此，我们旅客亲属声明如下： 

       第一，所有以“MH370”为素材的出版物、照片或者展览，均包含了大量MH370的真实信息，已非文学作品。该类作品均以 “MH370”事件为素材、书名直接取名《MH370》、内容直指MH370这一特定事件、MH370航班上的特定人群，其所有描写都映射到机上人员这一特定群体。这些出版物、照片或者展览，其事件和人物均是真实的，但其结论却是毫无证据支持的，在给出这些结论时，完全没有顾及到MH370航班旅客亲属的感受。其看似写虚，实则定实的写法，将直接影响到受众的正确认知，将直接损害旅客亲属的切身利益。其在搜寻调查尚在进行、最终调查报告未正式公布之际，轻率地将臆想、虚拟的结论散布于众，给受众以事件结论已定的错误暗示，给已经处于极度悲伤和痛苦中的旅客亲属带来了巨大的精神痛苦。对此，我们亲属予以谴责。

       第二，部分参与出版、展览、传播的人员以自称对MH370事件展开过独立调查的方式，对出版物、展览进行宣传，以给受众造成其臆测的结论是真实的、是提前透露事件调查结果的假象。该种行为不但可能误导搜寻工作，亦极大的损害了旅客亲属的情感和利益。对此，我们亲属绝不接受。

       第三，我们亲属并非想凭空制造任何不切实际的幻想，我们所要强调的是，我们不接受任何没有证据的臆断和猜测，一切结论均应建立在科学的调查和充分的证据之上。只要有一丝可能，我们必定决不放弃。

       第四，任何出版物、展览、网络未经允许擅自使用旅客、旅客亲属照片的行为，均是对旅客及旅客亲属人格权、隐私权的严重侵犯，其行为已经给旅客亲属造成了难以弥补的伤害。我们希望每一个有良知的人，都应该摒弃私欲，着力于关注、关心旅客亲属，将关注点放在搜寻调查工作的推进及旅客亲属的援助问题，而非混水摸鱼、借此牟利。

       我们再次声明，我们绝对不容忍任何以盈利为目的的、以“MH370”为素材的、以臆测为内容的出版、展览、传播行为。并要求相关人员及关联方即刻停止上述出版、展览、传播行为，公开赔礼道歉。我们希望所有的作者、办展方、网络使用者、网络服务提供商不要再做出任何侵犯旅客及旅客亲属权益的行为。否则，我们都将依法追究其法律责任而无论其国籍所属及背景如何。

       对于已经出现的侵权行为以及相关作者、摄影者、办展方等给旅客及我们旅客亲属造成的伤害，以及自本声明发布后出现的任何侵犯旅客及旅客亲属合法权益的行为，我们均委托北京市蓝鹏律师事务所张起淮律师依照司法程序予以追究。

Solemn Declaration of Families of MH370 Passengers 

       To date, the MH370 has lost contact for over six months, and all searches for the plane have turned up to be futile, let alone the sign of the persons on board. There is still no substantial conclusion for this event despite the fact that many countries have input a great deal of manpower and physical and financial resources into the search and investigation work. Because of this, all families of passengers of MH370 have been suffering, and the families and family members and the employers at which the lost passengers work for have all suffered losses of various degrees. Though we are in depth of anxiety and agony, we have never given up and have been working hard to push the search and investigation work and the passenger family assistance work, so as to obtain an objective conclusion.

       Recently, there are some publications and exhibitions based on the materials of MH370, which directly take MH370 as their names, themes or backgrounds, and groundlessly presume that “all lost passengers have been dead after losing their consciousness” and assume that “the plane and the persons on board have crashed into the bottom of the Indian Ocean” without conclusive evidence.

       While the MH370 event is still under investigation, such dissemination activities will have the struggling passenger families suffered another hard hit. Before anything solid to prove the air crash and casualties of persons on board is found, we, the families of the MH370 passengers, will never give up any hope.

       As such, we, the families of the MH370 passengers, hereby declare as follows: 

       Firstly, all publications, photos or exhibitions based on the materials of MH370 have contained a lot of real information and are not pure literature works. Given that such works have used the MH370 event as their materials, and some of them have even used MH370 as their names, with contents directing to the MH370 event or the particular people on the flight MH370, any description used therein will map to the families of passengers on that plane. It is true that the event and people described in such publications, photos or exhibitions are real; however, their conclusions are groundless and not supported by any evidence, and the provision of such conclusions has totally disregarded the feelings of the families of the passengers of flight MH370. The narrative technique used in such works, which actually refers to the MH370 event but attempts to be seemingly non-specific, will directly affect the correct recognition of the audience and directly jeopardize the vital interests of the families of the passengers. At the very right time when the search and investigation is still on-going and the final investigation report has not been officially published, the arbitrary spread of any subjective and virtual conclusion to the general public will produce a wrongful hint to the audience that the conclusion of this event is conclusive. And this will bring tremendous spiritual damages to the families of the passengers who are in extreme sadness and agony. We hereby condemn such activities.

       Secondly, some persons who have participated in the publications, exhibitions and network disseminations have claimed to have run independent investigations towards MH370 event for the purpose of publicizing such publications or exhibitions, which lulls the audience into a false sense that their subjective conclusions are real and nothing but a pre-disclosure of the investigation results of this event. This type of activity will not only mislead the search work to some extent, but also greatly jeopardize the motions and interests of the families of the passengers. And we will never accept any of this.

       Thirdly, we, the families of the passengers, are not to manufacture any unrealistic illusion here, and what we are trying to emphasize is that we will not accept any groundless assumption or speculation, and all conclusions shall be established on basis of scientific investigation and sufficient evidence. And if at all possible, we will never give up.

       Fourthly, the use of photos of passengers and their families without permission by those publications, exhibitions and network disseminations is a severe infringement upon the right of personality and the right of privacy of the passengers and their families and has caused irreparable harm to the families of passengers. We hope that conscious people should abandon their own desires in connection with this event and focus on caring and concerning about the families of passengers, and will pay attention to the pushing of the search and investigation work and the provision of aid to families of passengers, instead of fishing in the troubled waters to make their own profits.

       Again, we declare that we will never tolerate any publication, exhibition or dissemination activity based on the materials of MH370 and containing any speculative content in order to make profits, and demand all relevant parties and their affiliates to immediately stop such publication, exhibition and network dissemination activity and apologize publicly. We hope all authors, exhibition organizers, internet users and internet service providers not to conduct anything infringing upon the rights and interests of the missing passengers and their families. Otherwise, we will resort to laws to protect our rights and interests, regardless of your nationality, affiliation and background.

       For those existing infringement acts and the harm done to the missing passengers and their families by relevant authors, photographers and exhibition organizers, and any act which in the future infringes upon the legal rights and interests of the missing passengers and their families and relatives upon issuance of this Declaration, we will entrust attorney ZHANG Qihuai from the Beijing Lanpeng Law Firm to protect our rights and interests through judicial procedures.
