Mullahs' Secret agents: Who are they? |
|
Freitag, 27 Mai 2005 |
Those who are actively engaged in the mullahs’ dirty campaign against
the Iranian Resistance abroad are from several origins. The common
denomination for all of them is that they are now working for the
mullahs’ Intelligence Ministry.
The first group consists of those who have been agents of the
Intelligence Ministry or Qods Force of the Revolutionary Guards Corps
and had gone to Iraq and western countries to infiltrate into the ranks
of the Mojahedin, the National Liberation Army of Iran, and their
supporters.
These infiltrators whose mission was revealed in Iraq, following the
investigations, Mojahedin released these individuals and returned them
to where they came from. The Intelligence Ministry dispatched some of
these people on new missions abroad upon their return to Iran. This
time they introduced themselves as former members of the Mojahedin who
were subjected to torture and persecution and then forced back to Iran.
They claim to have fled Iran and are applying for asylum in other
countries. They pretend that they are being threatened by both Iran and
the Mojahedin. Mohammad Hossein Sobhani, Farhad Javaheri-yar, Hassan
Sadeqian, Edward Termadoyan are among them.
The second group are those who were at one time within the ranks of the
Resistance and left the Resistance due to its hardship and subsequently
were recruited by the Intelligence Ministry. The unabated struggle by
the Mojahedin against two dictatorships has attracted hundreds of
thousands as members and active supporters. According to the regime’s
officials some half a million were recruited by the Mojahedin
Organization in Iran in early 1980s.1 On the course of such a
harsh struggle where 120,000 have been executed, some of the
individuals do not have the tolerance to continue and depart from this
course. This is the mechanism which is applied to any resistance
movement to attract or detract, in particular when dealing with the
most brutal dictatorship in contemporary era.
Over the years many people left the ranks of resistance to lead an
ordinary life. The vast majority of these people remained as supporters
of the resistance movement and continue backing within their capacity.
Many of them have reacted to the Intelligence Ministry’s propaganda
against the Mojahedin and have even published books in response to
false information spread against the Mojahedin, in particular on the
issue of mistreatment or discontent of former members. But some of them
were recruited to the Intelligence Ministry by threats or enticement.
Mercenaries like Karim Haqi, and Shams Haeri are among this group.
Elaborating on these people in the book entitled "Iran: State of
Terror" published by the British Parliamentary Human Rights Group, Lord
Eric Avebury wrote: "Another method is using the small number of
defectors who had at one stage cooperated with opposition organizations
and individuals. These persons, due to their low or non-existent
motivation to continue the struggle and maintain their principles,
allowed themselves to be bought by the regime at a later stage. Such
people have so far provided the regime’s terrorists in Europe with the
most extensive intelligence and political services. In addition to
providing information on the assassination targets to the regime, they
prepare the political grounds for the murders of the dissidents by
spreading propaganda against the individuals or organizations they had
previously cooperated with, defaming them and accusing them of being
worse than the ruling regime."
Mullah Younesi, Khatami's present Minister of Intelligence and Security
(MOIS) said on the issue: "we have infiltrators in all opposition
organizations…, we use some of the Mojahedin turncoats to work against
them". In an interview, as IRNA on August 2000 reported, he said, "… we
have many informers particularly in Europe who give us everything we
need to know about Mojahedin. We are now well aware of all their
activities and potentials".
The third groups are those who have never been in the Mojahedin
Organization. For example, a man by the name of Bahman Rastgou,
residing in Germany, has been serving the mullahs Intelligence Ministry
as "a former member of the Mojahedin" but he has never been even among
the active members of the Mojahedin.
The forth group consists of some unfortunate and politically bankrupt
individuals who have been living abroad for decades but now, for their
living or for return to mullahs or in fear of terrorist acts of the
regime, have opted to cooperation with the Intelligence Ministry
against the Mojahedin. |
