Iran plane downing: Police deny shooting anti-government protesters
![]() 1932 Tuesday, 14 January, 2020, 16:00 Police in the Iranian capital, Tehran, have denied using live ammunition against protesters outraged by the shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner. Officers had been given orders to "show restraint", the chief of police said. Videos posted online on Sunday recorded what appeared to be gunfire and showed an injured woman being carried away.

All 176 people on board flight PS752, mostly Iranians and Canadians, were killed. |
