European intelligence service's reports on mullahs Ministry of Intelligence and Security(MOIS) activities
The mullahs' regime's campaign against the Iranian opposition abroad is
an issue well known to western intelligence communities. According to
the western intelligence reports the main purposes of mullahs'
intelligence activities abroad is to collect information about the
opposition and harm the reputation of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran and the Iranian Mojahedin. Following are a few
examples:
Germany:
Bfv, The German security agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution
2002 - annual report (excerpts)
"The exiled opposition in Germany is still in the core of the
surveillance activity of Iran's secret service, MOIS… MOIS, at present,
is apparently focusing on defusing the opposition groups and their
political activity. In this respect MOIS resorts to leading and
financing propaganda against the opposition including those voiced by
previous opponents of the regime. Like previous years Iran's secret
service tries to enlist active or ex- members of opposition groups.
This, in many instances, is taking place with intimidation of them or
their families who are living in Iran."
Bfv, The German security agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution
2000 - annual report (excerpts):
"The Iranian opposition in exile in Germany is in the core of the
surveillance activities of MOIS. Various organizations and groups … are
systematically under surveillance and scrutiny of this service. Yet the
principal target is the most active and the most militarized opposition
group… the PMOI and its political wing the NCRI who is working in
an international level.
MOIS has apparently concentrated its efforts on defusing opposition
groups and their political activities. In this respect MOIS resorts to
leading and financing propaganda against NCRI including those voiced by
previous opponents of the regime.
As in previous years the Iranian secret service tries to recruit active or ex-members of the opposition."
"… Regarding the suggestions about recruiting new members put forward
by the MOIS branch in the embassy in Berlin, the MOIS center in Tehran
will make the final decision. The more lenient travel conditions
between Germany and Iran provide fine facilities for MOIS to contact
and recruit new agents."
Bfv, The German security agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution
1999 - annual report (excerpts):
"The principal objective of the Iranian secret service is still to
fight the Iranian oppositionists. … the People's Mojahedin Organization
of Iran (PMOI) and its political wing, the NCRI, are still at the top
of the Intelligence Ministry's activities. To grapple against the
activities of the opposition in exile, Ministry of Intelligence and
Security (MOIS) has established various cultural associations. These
are cover agencies that work for MOIS and the Iranian regime. Other
than this, MOIS tries to publish various publications, some in the name
of those who introduce themselves as ex-members of the PMOI, in order
to persuade the reader to retract from the organization.
For the purpose of cracking this organization, MOIS even encourages the
supporters of PMOI or other Iranians to go to Iran to visit their
families or to stay there. Then MOIS will talk to them directly and
sometimes, with offering bribe or intimidating them or their families
in Iran, will ask them to cooperate with the secret service and give
the necessary information to this ministry."
Bfv, The German security agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution
1997 - annual report (excerpts):
"One of the main tasks of the Iranian secret service is to keep an eye
on Iranians living in Germany who oppose the regime. Its top priority
is to keep surveillance on the People's Mojahedin of Iran and their
political arm, the National Council of Resistance."
Holland:
BVD - Dutch Interior Security Service
2001 - annual report (excerpts):
"Including in the duties of MOIS is the tracing and recognition
of persons who have contacts with the opposition groups abroad.
Supporters of the most important group i.e. Mojahedin-e Khalgh, are
more then anyone else, and particularly, subject of attention of Iran's
secret service. The Ministry of Intelligence tries to collect as much
information about this organization as possible through "ex-members of
the Mojahedin". Also, the agents of MOIS are instructed to distribute
negative information about PMOI and its members. In this way, they
attempt to weaken the organization and, in order to end their social
and political movements, strive to portray a satanic view of the
Mojahedin in host countries.
BVD - Dutch Interior Security Service
2000 - annual report (excerpts):
"… Iranian statesmen act harshly against the opposition groups. Most of
their attention is directed towards ex-supporters of PMOI."
"Iran's secret service administers its tasks not only under cover of
usual diplomatic means but also increasingly from inside of Iran. In
this respect, they use secret service officers and those living abroad.
These agents must attack and harm the Iranian opposition instantly."
BVD - Dutch Interior Security Service
1998 - annual report (excerpts):
"Still we see that Iranian secret service organizations are
active in The Netherlands. The Iranian agents are determined to find
members of opposition groups in order to destabilize their
organizations. Especially considered are the present as well as past
members of People's Mojahedin. Iran's secret service uses intimidation
to obtain Iranians' cooperation."
"It has been observed that, in the past period, the control of Iran's
secret forces has been shifted to inside of Iran. Contacts are
increasingly being made directly from Tehran and/or by secret service
officers who introduce themselves as, for example, businessmen." In the
succeeding year BVD reported: "Mojahedin-e Khalgh (PMOI), Iran's most
important opposition organization has representative in The
Netherlands…in the west Mohjahedin's activities are limited to
arranging demonstrations and providing written and oral information."
"… Iranian officials are still confronting the opposition group with
severity. An important job of Iran's secret service organizations is
tracing and enlisting the opposition members abroad, especially past
and present members of MEK (PMOI)."
"Iran's secret activities are usually administered from inside Iran. If
necessary they use traveling secret agents. Iranians living in Europe
are ordered to take actions that harm the opposition groups and
destabilize them. One method used is printing and distribution of
literature harming a particular opposition organization..."
