The crash site of flight PS752 near Tehran on January 8, 2020
The Association of Families of Victims of Flight PS752 has issued a call for a global gathering on the anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death.
The group is organizing a rally on September 16th, the first anniversary of the government's killing of Amini in police custody and are urging people worldwide to join. “We are uniting on the streets around the globe to amplify the voices of people of Iran”
The Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 was shot down by two air-defense missiles fired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on January 8, 2020, shortly after taking off from Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport.
The Association's call to action was published on the social media network X and resonates with the powerful message: "Shout her name! Her name is our secret code. Say you haven't forgotten. Say you don't forgive."
Accompanying this call is a video featuring several families of the victims who lost their lives when the Ukrainian plane was shot down.
A key passage of the call states: "Say their names! The names of those who stood up. The names of brave Iranian girls and boys. The names of those who fell to the ground. The names of those who said no. The names of those who are in prison. The names of those who fought."
In the past week, 27 organizations and groups have united to issue a collective call for a global gathering on this significant day.
Additionally, some families affected by the four decades of crimes perpetrated by the Islamic Republic are planning to host an exhibition showcasing photos and memorabilia that serve as poignant reminders of their loved ones in Stockholm.
