Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined grieving Canadians on Sunday afternoon to mark three years since the Iranian military shot down Flight PS752 in a commemorative ceremony taking place in Toronto.

“We are here to seek justice for the victims and their families,” Trudeau said. “This tragedy happened because of the Iranian regime’s heinous disregard for human life. Your grief has been compounded by their refusal to be held accountable.”

On Jan. 8, 2020, the Iranian military shot down Flight PS752, which killed 176 people, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents. The Ukraine International Airlines jetliner was bound for Canada via Ukraine but was shot down shortly after its takeoff from Tehran in January 2020. The day is now observed as the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Air Disasters.

In collaboration with the U.K., Sweden and Ukraine, Canada also initiated a process on Dec. 28 to bring the Islamic Republic of Iran into binding arbitration to ensure accountability and justice, according to Trudeau. Advocates argue the move should have come sooner and the RCMP should have launched a criminal investigation while Ottawa was negotiating with Tehran.
