Our Story

Founded on Day 160

On June 16, 2020 — the 160th day since the attack — families gathered in Toronto to formally launch the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims. By that date, Iran had not yet delivered the flight recorders, had destroyed the crash site, and had provided no answers. The Association was born out of that silence.

We are a group of families with diverse national, political, and religious backgrounds — united by a single demand: that those who ordered and carried out the murder of 177 innocent people be identified and brought before an impartial court. Families representing more than 100 victims joined from the outset, and our membership has continued to grow.

The road has been long. Iran has obstructed every step. Governments have wavered. But we have not stopped. We have pursued accountability in every forum available — ICAO, the ICC, the ICJ, and domestic courts in Canada. We will not rest until justice is served.

Our Demands

What We Are Fighting For

  • 1

    Uncover the full truth about the crime and those who ordered and carried it out.

  • 2

    Ensure that all perpetrators, commanders, and planners are identified and tried before an independent international court.

  • 3

    Obtain full access to black box recordings, the Tor-M1 unit transcript, and CCTV footage.

  • 4

    Reform ICAO Annex 13 so states are not responsible for investigating crimes they themselves have committed.

  • 5

    Ensure accountability and compensation from the Islamic Republic of Iran for the families of all victims on the flight.

  • 6

    Preserve the memory of 176 lives for future generations.

Justice is a collective struggle.

We are families. We are not politicians, not diplomats, not strategists. But we know what happened to our loved ones, and we will not allow the world to forget.
