Iran sentences 10 members of the armed forces to prison after finding them guilty of involvement in the downing of a Ukrainian airliner, the judiciary’s Mizan Online website reports.
A commander received 10 years in prison and nine others were sentenced to between one and three years, Mizan reports, in the 2020 incident which led to the deaths of all 176 people on board, including 85 Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
