Iranian Activist Murder Case Exposes Deepening Diaspora Divisions Over Monarchy Movement
The murder of Iran-born activist Masood Masjoody in British Columbia has intensified fears among Iranian diaspora figures, with recipients of threatening messages blaming the monarchist movement led by exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi. Masjoody, who had accused two fellow activists of plotting to kill him, disappeared in early February and was found dead in mid-March, with first-degree murder charges filed.
