Flight victims' families reject Iran’s compensation, demand justice
Families of the victims of the downed Ukraine Airlines flight warned the Iranian government that they will not accept any planned compensation and rather will fight for justice.
Families who lost loved ones aboard Ukraine Airlines flight 752 after it was downed by Iranian forces in January said they would reject any compensation from the Iranian government and plan only to seek justice for the victims.
An association of the families issued a strongly worded statement addressing the Iranian government ahead of the anniversary of the tragedy. “The murderer cannot play the mourner,” the public message read, carrying out complaints about “mental torture” and other forms of pressure during the past 11 months on the families and attempts by the government to “hijack” the anniversary. It also accused Iranian officials of trying to sweep the “crime” under the rug and impose their own narrative on the international community.
