The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued a statement marking five years since the downing of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752.
A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development spokesperson said:
Today marks five years since Iran's unlawful downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
The UK, alongside our partners in Canada, Sweden and Ukraine, remains committed to delivering transparency, justice and accountability for the 176 innocent victims and their families, including UK nationals.
For five years, Iran has refused to take full legal responsibility for the downing, despite admitting its military shot Flight PS752 out of sky. This cannot stand. We will continue our pursuit of justice through the International Court of Justice and the International Civil Aviation Organization.
The UK is clear in its commitment to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its breaches of international law.
