Canadian pro-Iranian regime activist Firas Al-Najim, who belongs to the organization CD4HR, said at a vigil held on January 2, 2023 outside the U.S. consulate in Toronto in honor of the third anniversary of the U.S. assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander General Qassem Soleimani and PMU deputy leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis that Soleimani and Al-Muhandis were "martyrs" who had fought for world peace and who have been labeled as terrorist by a "misinformation media campaign". He also led chants of "We are all Qassem Soleimani!" and "Death to America!" A video of the vigil was tweeted by Al-Najim. CD4HR organized similar vigils in 2021 and 2022. For more information, see MEMRI TV Clips Nos. 8586, 9279, and 9286.

Firas Al-Najim: "This is the anniversary of the martyrdom of Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis. These great generals, these merciful men, that sacrificed to support the oppressed people, not just in West Asia — the Middle East — but also in the world.

[...]

"They didn't just fight for the Middle East, they fought for world peace. And now we see misinformation propaganda all over the media, labelling these great people as terrorists. We are here to say that we are all Soleimani."

Crowd: "We are all Soleimani!"

Al-Najim: "We are all Qassem Soleimani!"

Crowd: "We are all Qassem Soleimani!"

Al-Najim: "We stand against injustices. We stand here together against the Israeli occupation of Palestine. We also stand against this misinformation, this evil project against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its great leader Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei. And we say, from here in Canada, in front of everybody and in front of the U.S. consulate: Khamenei is the leader!"

Crowd: " Khamenei is the leader!"

Al-Najim: "Khamenei is the great leader!"

Crowd: "Khamenei is the great leader!"

Al-Najim: "And we say: Death to America!"

Crowd: Death to America!"

Al-Najim: "Death to America!"

Crowd: Death to America!"
