'More details are emerging on the Burnaby, B.C., man who disappeared this week under suspicious circumstances—including that he was an outspoken critic of the Iranian regime.
Masood Masjoody, a former Simon Fraser University instructor, was discovered missing after concerned neighbours called the RCMP to check on him.
The case was handed over to homicide investigators due to signs of criminality, the details of which have not been made public.'

''Last year, Masjoody was also declared a vexatious litigant by the B.C. Court of Appeal after he unsuccessfully tried to sue the Burnaby Beacon, a since-shuttered online news publication.
“Masjoody has habitually, persistently, and without reasonable cause commenced or continued vexatious proceedings in the courts of British Columbia,” the May 23, 2025 decision reads, citing seven civil suits and eight appeals he had filed.''
