Iranian court sentences 10 to jail for downing Ukraine plane.

An Iranian court has sentenced 10 armed forces personnel, including the commander of a Revolutionary Guards air defence unit, to prison over the shooting down of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 in January 2020. The unit's commander was sentenced to 13 years for being an accessory to manslaughter and disobeying orders. Victims' families rejected the verdicts as "meaningless and unacceptable". Ukraine and three other countries whose citizens or residents were killed have said the missiles were launched unlawfully and intentionally at the plane and pledged to hold Iran to account.
