https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51114945Iran says it has arrested the person who filmed the footage showing a Ukrainian passenger plane being shot down by a missile.
It is believed the person being detained will face charges related to national security.
Flight PS752 was brought down after it took off from Tehran on Wednesday last week, killing all 176 people on board.
Separately the New York Times said security camera footage showed two missiles were fired at the plane, more than 20 seconds apart.
The paper said this would explain why the plane's transponder seemed to have stopped working before the missile strike - it had been disabled by the first missile.

The same freedoms are not available to the Iranians as we have here.
