Transport committee  Thank you very much. Good afternoon. I am Dr. Hamed Esmaeilion, president and spokesperson of the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims. We represent 142 victims of the mass murder that took 176 lives and an unborn child. I have with me two members of the board of dire

Transport committee  I think we need to see a strategy. We need to see a clear road map. Seventeen months have passed and, as I said, we still are in darkness. We don't know anything about that flight. We don't know the reason for the delay. We don't know if passengers were taken off the plane or n

Transport committee  Thank you, Mr. Ehsassi. Absolutely. We need to know what was sent to TSB from Ukraine. Ukraine, as the country of the owner of the airplane, had access to some information. That was shared with TSB. We need to have access to that. We need to know: When Mr. Tasker went to Iran,

Transport committee  It's not just me. There are 12 family members in Canada who have been intimidated and harassed and threatened. Imagine what they do in Iran. Imagine what they do with their family members in Iran. We saw in the Human Rights Watch report on May 27 that at least one family member w

Transport committee  As I mentioned before, we have some demands. We are waiting for the forensic report from Canada. I think it's going to be out probably next week, but after this report is out, we have to state clearly that the downing of PS752 was not an accident, was not a mistake, was not a hum

Transport committee  This is a full-time job for me. I am a dentist; I was a dentist before this. My wife and I had a clinic in Aurora. I'm sitting in my office right now, but as you see, I have changed the office to an operation office for flight PS752. This is my new life, I think.

Transport committee  I think Kourosh can answer that question. Thank you.

Transport committee  What they have done in ICAO has not been satisfying for the families. Seventeen months have passed. We waited 15 months for Iran's final report. As we mentioned before, nobody said anything in ICAO about the breaches. Compare that to Ryanair. That's a good example. Another th

Transport committee  I will pass it to Amirali.

Transport committee  Are you asking about the court case?

Transport committee  We have had ups and downs with things like meeting officials. We have had good days, as Kourosh said. We have had very good meetings with Mr. Goodale and with Minister Champagne in the past. In some meetings, we were really disappointed when we finished, but in some, we thought w

Transport committee  Thank you. I'll answer the first three questions and leave the fourth one for my friends. In our opinion, Iran is not going to tell the truth if there's no pressure. We think that they're afraid of it going to the International Court of Justice, so only pressure can help us. I

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the honourable members of the committee for giving me your time this afternoon. Thirty months have passed since the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, of Iran committed a heinous crime over the skies of Iran by shooting down Ukraine I

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I can start with IRGC and the Magnitsky sanctions. We had a meeting with Minister Joly yesterday. All of the family members were invited to the call, and we asked that question several times. Why is IRGC not designated as a terrorist organization? We see a mysterious resistance

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  The victims' families who live in Canada have faced a lot of threats and intimidating actions from the Iranian regime. CSIS has twice prepared a report—this year and last year—saying that the families have been targeted by the IRGC. I can say that the families receive phone call
