Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government continues to seek justice for the victims of the 2020 shootdown of a Ukrainian passenger plane that killed 176 people, many of them Canadian.
Trudeau commented today after 10 officials were indicted in Iran over the downing of the jetliner.
Ten officials have been indicted in Iran over the military shootdown, but the move has done nothing to quell Canadian demands for accountability.
More than 100 of the 176 victims, at least one of whom was pregnant, had ties to Canada, and 55 were Canadian citizens.
Conservative Opposition Leader Erin O'Toole says he does not trust the Iranian government to carry out a proper investigation of the tragic incident, nor a trial of those accused of being responsible.
