US EditionB.C. Police Charge Two with First-Degree Murder in Activist Masjoody Case
Two founding directors of a B.C. non-profit face murder charges after alleged plans to 'silence' activist Masjoody amid ongoing legal disputes, police said.
- On Jan. 28 an affidavit was filed in Masjoody’s lawsuit, and he was reported missing five days later; his remains were found on March 6, and Razavi and Soltani face first‑degree murder charges.
- Years of lawsuits and public disputes preceded the case, as Masjoody launched several lawsuits and was branded a “vexatious litigant” by Canadian courts in recent years.
- Rosita Fatemi’s affidavit describes a West Vancouver meeting at Park Royal mall parking lot where Arezou Soltani asked for a drug to get rid of Masjoody, discussed silencing him, and Mehdi Ahmadzadeh Razavi took Fatemi’s phone.
- Fong said, 'Whether or not that forms a motive of the homicide, it is still under investigation', as Soltani and Razavi appeared in court on March 16 and are due back March 25.
- The case intersects diaspora politics, with critics denouncing Iran’s regime and royalist factions; the Canadian Iranian Wakuppers Foundation was formed in June 2023 and registered to Soltani’s North Vancouver address.
