Canadian intelligence is probing 'hostile state actors' who are intimidating Iranian dissidents.
Three years after the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 in Tehran, families and friends of those who died are still pushing for accountability. But they have been greeted with multiple hurdles along the way, including threats to their safety.
Mr Akbari has reported this incident and others to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and he is not the only one. "The tactics and tools used for such purposes include cyber espionage and threats designed to silence those who speak out publicly against them," CSIS spokesperson Eric Balsam said, adding that the agency is investigating these incidents.
He said he believes the intimidation tactics from the Iranian government are part of "a propaganda machine against anyone who is standing in front of them."Hamed Esmaeilion speaking at a rally in Berlin in solidarity with women and protesters in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini Iran's Civil Aviation Organisation has blamed the downing of the plane, which occurred amid heightened tensions in the region following the US killing of top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad, on "human error".
