Canadian court awards $84m to Iran plane crash victims’ families
Al JazeeraAPR 20 2022
The downing of Flight PS752 was a tragic incident, but this case is unnecessary as Iran has already investigated events thoroughly. Punishments have already been issued to those involved by the Iranian government through the Iranian legal system, while restitution has been offered to the victims of the families. The filing is just an instance of foreign governments trying to unnecessarily politicize a tragic accident so as to put pressure on Iran.
This filing is a positive milestone in achieving justice for the victims of Flight PS752. Though the extensive legal and political processes can be disillusioning, hopefully this filing with the highest court of justice will provide relief to the families of the victims and eventually see Iran held accountable for this avoidable incident.
