Hundreds march through downtown Chicago in solidarity with Iran

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Hundreds of people marched in downtown Chicago Sunday to stand in solidarity with Iran. 

Sunday also marked the third anniversary of the downing of Ukrainian Flight PS752. The flight from Tehran to Kyiv was shot down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killing 176 people on board. 

This protest was one of dozens happening around the world as the victims' families are still seeking justice.
