Mourners and officials paid tribute on Jan. 8 to those who died after the Iranian military shot down Flight PS752 four years ago, as they called for the Iranian regime to be held accountable for what happened.

Everyone aboard was killed when Iranian officials shot down the Ukraine International Airlines jetliner in January 2020 shortly after its takeoff from Tehran.
