Canadian families who lost loved ones on flight PS752 seek justice in World Court

Vancouver resident Arman Abtahi can’t remember much about the tragic day he learned that his brother Mehran, a post-doctoral environmental engineer at the University of British Columbia, was killed in the downing of Ukraine Airlines flight PS752.

The shock was so severe, Arman said, that much of that horrific day ended up being a blur.

“I remember I called my parents but we were not talking, we were just on the line, silent,” Abtahi said.
