Exactly three years have passed since the downing of Ukrainian UIA flight PS752 in Tehran. On the anniversary of the tragedy, former Deputy Prosecutor General Gunduz Mammadov recalled that those responsible for the plane crash have not yet been punished. He stressed that Ukraine should participate in bringing the perpetrators to justice..

“Today marks 3 years since UIA flight PS752 was shot down near Tehran. Although the names of some suspects are known, we are far from justice.. The impartiality of the Iranian investigation is questionable. All attempts to negotiate with Iran to facilitate the investigation have stalled. But this is not a reason to give up,” Mammadov wrote on Twitter..

He stressed that the rights of the families of those killed in the plane crash must be restored, and those responsible must be punished.. Both investigations, according to the Chicago and Montreal conventions, should be completed by establishing all the circumstances of the disaster, Mammadov noted..

“Thus, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the UN Special Agency for Civil Aviation can become platforms for establishing justice. Ukraine, which is regularly fired upon by Iranian Shahed drones, should actively participate in the process of bringing to justice those responsible for the downing of the PS752 aircraft,” summed up the ex-deputy prosecutor general.
