Ottawa vows to fight for Canadian victims of Flight 752 despite Iran’s policy against dual citizenship

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne, seen here on Jan. 16, 2020, said his government will continue to advocate for the rights of the families of the 57 Canadians who were on the flight, regardless of whether they held another citizenship.

“I have been very clear and we will insist at every venue, all of the time and every time, that a Canadian is a Canadian,” Mr. Champagne said in an interview after a cabinet meeting in Winnipeg. “We will be forceful in defending every single Canadian who is a victim of this horrific tragedy.” Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was shot down on Jan. 8, hours after Iran had fired several volleys of ballistic missiles at U.S. military bases in Iraq in response to the U.S. assassination of a senior Iranian commander. All 176 people on board died, including 57 Canadians and 29 foreigners who were permanent residents of Canada.

“We have called on Iran, again, to proceed rapidly,” Mr. Champagne said. “The world wants to know where those black boxes are going, they want to know about the content and to have an international team present when this is done.”
