Revolutionary Guard commander who purportedly ordered missile strike that shot down Ukraine International Airlines flight in January 2020 was sentenced to 13 years in prison
An Iranian court has sentenced an air defense commander allegedly responsible for the deadly downing of a passenger plane amid Iran-U.S. tensions several years ago, a state news agency reported Sunday.
The Guards commander who officials purport ordered the strike was sentenced to 13 years in prison, the official judiciary news outlet said. Mizan said the court also sentenced two personnel allegedly involved in running the surface-to-air missile system Tor M-1 to one year in prison each. The hearing sessions have faced international criticism since starting in 2021. At that time, an association of the victims’ families also criticized the hearing and cast doubts on the court’s legitimacy. The group also alleged that none of the defendants were present at hearings.
