New Complaint Filed by Canada, Britain, Ukraine, and Sweden Against the Islamic Republic at ICAO

Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, announced on Monday, January 8, coinciding with "National Day of Remembrance for Air Disaster Victims" and the fourth anniversary of the downing of the Ukrainian plane by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the filing of another complaint against the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to Mr. Trudeau, this new complaint was filed "due to violations of international law" and based on "Article 84 of the Chicago Convention" to hold the Islamic Republic accountable. He described this action as an important step in his government's commitment to ensuring justice for the victims of the aforementioned tragedy. According to the Canadian government's statement, the complaint was jointly submitted by Canada, Britain, Ukraine, and Sweden to the International Civil Aviation Organization due to the Iranian regime's use of "weapons against a civilian aircraft in flight." In another part of the statement, the Canadian Prime Minister referred to the downing of flight PS752 by the Islamic Republic as a "heartbreaking incident" that resulted in the deaths of 176 people and expressed condolences to the families and friends of the victims, promising to continue efforts with Canada's partners to achieve a safer and more peaceful world for all travelers. Melanie Joly, Canada's Foreign Minister, also posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, stating, "It has been four years since the innocent lives of the passengers of flight PS752 were stolen." Ms. Joly, while honoring the memory of the victims of this flight, added, "Today and every day, in their name, we fight for [justice against] the Islamic Republic of Iran." In another post, she announced her meeting with the families of the victims of flight PS752 to express condolences and sympathy, and updated them on the joint complaint by Canada, Britain, Ukraine, and Sweden against the Islamic Republic and efforts to achieve justice. Hannah Neumann, a German representative in the European Parliament, also expressed sympathy with the families of the victims of the Islamic Republic's attack on flight PS752, stating that the reason for the deaths of these individuals was the "impunity" of the perpetrators in the "regime" of the Islamic Republic. This German politician emphasized that it is time to declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization and to question Iranians about choosing their preferred government. In this context, Prince Reza Pahlavi also called the downing of the Ukrainian passenger plane a "terrorist crime" and emphasized that the perpetrators and instigators, including the "primary accused Ali Khamenei," will not be able to escape justice. Prince Reza Pahlavi, in a message coinciding with the fourth anniversary of the downing of the Ukrainian passenger plane by IRGC missiles over Tehran, emphasized that the survivors of the victims of that incident are still seeking justice. The message from Prince Reza Pahlavi was released during the memorial ceremony for the fourth anniversary of the victims of the downing of the Ukrainian plane in Tehran. This ceremony was held on Monday in Shahidshahr, Tehran, the site of the plane's downing, while government forces prevented citizens from attending and joining the families of the victims. An eyewitness who was speaking with the Persian section of Voice of America during the memorial ceremony stated that special forces had been stationed in the area since the night before and emphasized that "all the alleys are filled with agents in private cars" and that "families are chanting slogans despite the complete siege."
