OTTAWA, Jan 11 — Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today closure and accountability were needed after Iran said it had unintentionally shot down a Ukranian plane, killing 176 people.
He also demanded “transparency, and justice for the families and loved ones of the victims,” of whom many were Canadian dual nationals.
“This is a national tragedy, and all Canadians are mourning together,” Trudeau’s office said in a statement. — AFP
