A court in Ontario, Canada, awarded more than $107 million to the families of six victims in the Iranian military’s downing of flight 752 on January 8th, 2020. The decision was made public on December 27th, 2021, following a May ruling that the missile strike was an international act of terrorism. This alowed for relatives of those who were killed to seek compensation from Iran. Ontario Superior Court Justice Edward Belobaba found the missiles that shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 to be deliberately fired at a time of no armed conflict in the area, resulting in Iran’s invalidation of immunity against civil litigation.
