On January 8, 2020, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shot two Two surface-to-air missiles at the Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 departing Tehran to Kiev, to land in the final destination, Toronto.
IRGC killed all 176 passengers on board — 146 were Iranians, 61 were Canadians (most of whom were dual nationals or permanent residents of Canada), 11 were Ukrainians, and the rest were citizens of Sweden, Britain, and Afghanistan. Two years after the downing Flight PS752, the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to resist independent investigations and a transparent due process. On the eve of the second anniversary of the downing of the Ukrainian plane, Zamaneh Media interviewed Hamed Esmaeilion, Spokesperson of the Association of Families of PS752 Victims. He lost his daughter Riera and his wife Parisa Eghbalian and along with the rest of the families of the victims of the downing Flight PS752 is fighting for justice for his loved ones.
