Personnel

The head of the accident investigation board until 3 July 2020 was Hassan Rezaeifar, who was summarily terminated on that day because he hd contacted a PS752 victim's husband who is a PhD student in Canada in the hope that he might exert pressure to have the husband delete Instagram posts which are critical of the Khamenei regime.[5] Ralph Goodale said the phone call constituted "outrageous behaviour", while Global Affairs Canada wrote that "interference with Canadian citizens is totally unacceptable, very troubling and won't be tolerated. The government of Canada denounces any and all attempts to coerce or pressure Canadians, especially those suffering the loss of a loved one."[5]
