Canada urged to push harder against Iran on second anniversary of PS752 downing
Two years after losing his wife and son in the downing of a Ukrainian airliner by Iranian forces, Shahin Moghaddam says he is still racked by feelings of emptiness and anger.
"It's so complicated," he told CTV News Channel on Saturday, the two-year anniversary of the shooting by Iran's Revolutionary Guard of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
The attack on Jan. 8, 2020, killed all 176 people on board, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents. More than 100 of those on PS752 had ties to Canada.
The families of those killed in the tragedy have long fought for justice and accountability from Iran after its Revolutionary Guard launched at least two missiles at the plane, not long after it took off from Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran.
