Premier David Eby announced funding for a memorial that will honour the victims of the Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 crash.
The rain did little to deter protesters on Sunday afternoon, as throngs gathered in their hundreds to commemorate the passengers of downed Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752.
The event began at 4 p.m, with speeches from local council members and an announcement from Premier David Eby; the province will provide $100,000 in funding to the City of North Vancouver to establish a memorial for the victims of the crash. Prior to the march, Eby released a statement acknowledging the National Day of Remembrance for Victims and those who had suffered at the hands of the crash.
The protest marked three years to the day since Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down Flight 752 shortly after takeoff in Tehran, killing 55 Canadians and 30 permanent residents. Ma said the memorial, which will “honour the victims of the flight and the broader Iranian-Canadian diaspora,” is still in its beginning stages, with the city still to determine a location and an artist suitable for the task.
“That’s what makes today’s anniversary particularly significant. It’s not just about that flight, but a wider problem of the oppressive authoritative nature of the Iranian regime.”
