CHICAGO (AP) – In Chicago’s South Loop, a vigil was held on Sunday to commemorate the downing of Flight PS752 four years ago. The tragic event took the lives of all 176 people on board after the flight was shot down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shortly after taking off. More than half of the victims were from Canada.
The vigil, hosted by Chicago 4 Iran, brought together families of the victims and other members of the community to honor those who lost their lives in the devastating incident.

As the Canadian government weighs their decision to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, the international community continues to seek answers and justice for the victims of Flight PS752. The tragic event has left a lasting impact, not only on the families directly affected, but also on the broader global community.
