In the name of shedding light on these dark practices, Iam releasing documents and emails in full for the public good,” Kaiser, whoworked with Cambridge Analytica from 2014 to 208, was quoted as saying.IRAN TO SEND BLACK BOXES OF DOWNED PLANE TO UKRAINEIran said on Saturday it was sending to Ukraine the black boxes from aUkrainian passenger plane that the Iranian military shot down this month, anaccident that sparked unrest at home and added to pressure on Tehran fromabroad.Iran’s Tasnim news agency also reported the authorities were prepared forexperts from France, Canada and the United States to examine informationfrom the data and voice recorders of the Ukraine International Airlinesplane that came down on Jan. 8.The plane disaster, in which all 176 aboard were killed, has added tointernational pressure on Iran as it grapples with a long running row withthe United States over its nuclear programme that briefly erupted into openconflict this month.Hassan Rezaifar, a director in charge of accident investigations at Iran’sCivil Aviation Organisation, said the aim was to read the information on therecorders “with the use of the expertise of the countries of France, Canadaand America”.“If this effort is unsuccessful then the black box will be sent to France,”he said, according to Tasnim, adding that black boxes were being sent toKiev at the request of Ukrainian experts in Tehran and that they would notbe inspected in Iran.The U.S.-built Boeing 737-800 was en route from Tehran to the Ukrainiancapital.
