A statement from the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, Inc. about “Lockerbie: A Search for Truth.”

From the moment we heard this project was in the works in 2022, we have raised our concerns with the producers of “Lockerbie: A Search for Truth.”

We are incredibly frustrated and angry about the content in the series. It does exactly what we feared it would: amplifies falsehoods and unsupported theories, ignores the work of hundreds of family members by focusing on one, disregards the work of investigators and prosecutors, and brings to life, in grotesque detail, the events of December 21, 1988. Worst of all, the series presents a convicted murderer as an innocent man that should be empathized with. This show dishonors the memories of our family members and puts doubt in the public about those that committed this heinous act. We are appalled.

We want to address the comments from the Sky spokesperson that have appeared in the press.

From Sky: We understand there are opposing opinions and do not attempt to tell the definitive version of the Lockerbie disaster or present a conclusion.

This is not about differing opinions. There is the truth of what happened to Pan Am 103, and then there are false theories that the show presents. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi exhausted all his appeals up to the UK Supreme Court. He is and will always be a convicted murderer. Abu Agila Mas’ud will stand trial later this year. We will continue to stand by the work of the investigators and prosecutors who have fought for truth and justice for our loved ones.

From Sky: We do not underestimate the responsibility of telling this story sensitively. We engaged with victims’ families and support groups through- out production and in the lead-up to the series launch.”

The producers have been responsive and available to us but engaging with the victims’ families does not take away from the decision to amplify false narratives and dramatize the worst moments of our lives.

From the first episode, it is clear that searching for the truth was never the intention of this series. We are disappointed and very concerned with the damage it will do. This series has an agenda, and we will not let the memories of our loved ones be tarnished by falsehoods.Those involved in this project should be ashamed.
