The Association of Families Of Flight PS752 Victims
On 8 January 2020, Flight #PS752 was tragically shot down with two missiles only three minutes after takeoff from Tehran’s IKA airport. After three days of denial and under mounting international pressure, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) finally admitted that the Boeing 737-800 was brought down by its missiles, but the true circumstances of the downing have not since been revealed. This heinous operation claimed the lives of all 176 innocent passengers (including 55 Canadian citizens ) and crew of the flight.
The missions of our Association are to unite the grieving families, keep the memories of the passengers alive, and, most importantly, seek justice. We are determined to uncover the truth and find out why a commercial flight was shot down by IRGC’s missiles. We will staunchly seek justice until the culprits, perpetrators, and commanders of this atrocious crime are identified and brought to justice before an impartial and independent court.
"Woman, Life, Freedom"
"Woman, Life, Freedom" is the slogan of a revolution that began in Iran in September 2022, following the tragic killing of an innocent 22-year-old girl, #MahsaAmini, at the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran's security forces, often referred to as the "Morality Police." This tragedy sparked protests, anger, and calls for justice from Iranians and people worldwide. The movement has continued to grow and gain global support from those who champion women's rights, human rights, justice, and freedom.
Since the start of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" revolution, the Association has emerged as a pivotal force, gathering support on a global scale. With an unwavering commitment to the cause, the Association has organized impactful rallies in Canada and internationally, standing in solidarity with the families of victims and advocating for justice and human rights.
One notable effort was the rally held on October 1st, 2022, in Toronto, which attracted an impressive turnout of over 50,000 participants. This event showcased the Association's ability to rally a united front in support of "Woman, Life, Freedom." Additionally, the Association's influence extended to Europe, where an astounding 100,000 participants came together, further amplifying the reach of this global movement.
At the core of its mission, the Association remains steadfast in its support for those fighting for justice. Through coordinated rallies, campaigns, and advocacy, the Association emphasizes the importance of raising awareness, advocating for human rights, and standing united with the courageous people of Iran.
