Masood Masjoody

Masood Masjoody is an Iranian mathematician and outspoken critic of the Iranian regime, who gained notoriety for his vocal opposition to both the government in Tehran and the exiled family of the former shah. He obtained his doctorate in mathematics from Simon Fraser University and faced significant controversy during his time as a sessional instructor, leading to his termination in 2020. Masjoody's legal battles and claims of persecution intensified following his warnings about Iranian infiltration in Canadian institutions. His recent disappearance in Canada has raised concerns about transnational repression targeting dissidents of the Iranian government.
