The Court of Paris looked into the libelous charges made by the Iranian regime’s agents against the “Iran Focus” news website on 21 February 2008 and issued its verdict on April 7, 2008, dismissing all the charges. Two days later, having received a heavy blow by the court’s verdict, Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) at its ultimate frustration attempted to deploy its already used agents in a restaurant in Paris.
In another case earlier, despite five years of hysterical disinformation campaign by the Iranian regime on the case of self- immolations in June 2003, the Court of Paris acquitted two members of the PMOI on 20th November 2007, hence formally annulled the allegations favored by the mullahs.
The following information manifestly demonstrates the maximum desperation of the notorious clerical regime’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) in impugning the PMOI. It also reveals the extent of regime’s animosity and hysteria toward residents of the Ashraf City – home to the members of the PMOI in Iraq:

1. In December 2007, a group of agents affiliated to the Qods Force and the MOIS were dispatched to Iraq from Iran and abroad for pursuing plots, filing complaints and launching disinformation campaign against members of the PMOI in the Ashraf City. They were settled in Hotel Mansour, under the command of the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad. Some of these regime’s agents who had to reside in Iraq for three months to carry out their missions are: Massoud Khodabandeh, Mostafa Mohammadi, Reza Akbari-Nassab, Taimour Khattar, and Alireza Bashiri.
The above mentioned agents resided in the third floor of the Mansour Hotel under the supervision of Tabatabai, Nobakht, and Assadi, the agents of the Qods Force and the MOIS. All the hotel bills were paid by the Iranian regime’s embassy, and at first they participated in an absurd seminar titled “War against terrorism” in which 20 proxies of Tehran’s regime were present.
The gatherings and the movements of the Iranian regime’s agents drew attention of Iraqi entities too, and a number of them including “Association of Iraqi Intellectuals and Academics” and “Association of Independent Iraqi Jurists” issued statements to disclose and condemn this puppetry.
2. The Iranian Embassy ordered Fadhil al-Showaili, its agent in Iraq’s Ministry of Security, to coordinate the missions of the said agents. Formation of IRGC front associations under bogus titles such as charity or supporting Iranian and immigrants, or family foundations in Baghdad, Khalis, Saadia, and Kirkuk were among these missions. Establishing propaganda units, reconnaissance and intelligence groups, and terror, kidnapping, and death squads disguised as various sort of charity societies, and support of mullahs’ regime is a common and well known technique of the Qods Force and the MOIS in Iraq.
3. Some of the above mentioned agents such as Massoud Khodabandeh are criminals who had asked for the bombardment and slaughter of the PMOI before war 2003, and had published articles and books on allegations like PMOI’s participation in the invasion on Kuwait, chemical assault on Halabcheh or hiding Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction in their camps.
4. Submitting phony complaints to Iraq’s judiciary system against the PMOI in Ashraf, and recruiting the people in the TIPF (the exit facility adjacent to camp Ashraf, controlled by the U.S. forces) to reuse them under the name of “former members of the PMOI” were another part of these agents’ mission.
5. Accordingly, the Iranian regime’s embassy in Baghdad set up the branch of regime’s ministry of intelligence in the town of Khalis, close to Ashraf, under the cover of “an NGO to defend human rights” with the name of “Sahar Family Foundation”. Prior to that, regime’s agents in the embassy had met with and talked to Abul Rassoul Mulla Hamid al-Sa’di (a.k.a. Abu Haydar), in charge of Badr Corps office and two commanders of death squads with the names of Abu-Tabarak al- Saedi and Khodhair Muhammad Ahmad (a.k.a. Abu Ussama Khalisi) to support the newly- run branch. Abu Ussama is the same criminal who participated in the explosion of the bus carrying workers to Ashraf in May 2006 that left 11 killed and 15 injured. On February 9, 2007, the terrorists affiliated to the Qods Force exploded the water pumping station of the Ashraf city with 300 kg of TNT that cut off water to Ashraf as well as to 20,000 inhabitants in the area.
6. Meanwhile, in Iraqi Kurdistan, especially in Sulaimaniya and Irbil, the Ministry of Intelligence of the clerical regime (MOIS) and the terrorist Qods Force were assigned to either take to Iran the regime’s moles that had infiltrated into the PMOI and had gone to the TIPF in previous years and also those who had been recruited by the regime in the TIPF, or brief them in Sulaimaniya and Irbil and then send them to European countries to work against the PMOI under new instructions. To this end, the MOIS set up meeting points in Istanbul or Ankara to provide facilities for dispatching the agents to Europe.
7. Some of these people are housed in a place in Irbil where has turned to be a meeting point for the consulate and the regime’s agents. Two MOIS agents by the names of Emami and Esmaili were assigned to brief, update and send them to Iran or European countries. Some people are first taken to Iran to receive instructions in MOIS offices, and then they are brought back to Irbil from where they are sent to European countries.
8. Four people left the TIPF and stayed in regime’s consulate’s meeting point in Irbil for several weeks. The MOIS is seeking to take them to European countries. These people are: Mahmoud Khaleghi, Majid Rouhi, Mohammad Razzaghi (a.k.a. Mohammad Razl) and Nader Naderi (a.k.a. Nader Pasdar). These people were known as MOIS agents in the TIPF and were boycotted by many people inside the TIPF. Mahmoud Khaleghi, who entered the TIPF in November 2003, had daily contacts with the regime’s consul in Irbil.
9. Mohammad Razzaghi, who had already been discharged twice from the National Liberation Army, left Ashraf for the TIPF in July 2004. Later on, he established active contacts with the MOIS, and along with Nader Naderi, Majid Rouhi, Mahmoud Khaleghi, Hassan Piransar and Mohammad Karami formed a gang affiliated to the MOIS in the TIPF. They were in direct contact with the MOIS in Tehran by a mobile phone and received their instructions. They also briefed a group of MOIS agents who went to Ashraf under the name of the PMOI family members; this way the group became acquainted with everything in Ashraf in advance and could adapt themselves.
10. One of the agents who has been sent abroad is named Ali Paak. He introduces himself as Ebad. Nine months after the 2003 war, he went to Ashraf to infiltrate into the PMOI ranks; however, he was never admitted to the organization and stayed in the “Admission section” until he left for the TIPF in February 2006. Contrary to what he claimed to be a sympathizer of the PMOI and to have been a political prisoner, it came out that he had been imprisoned three times for buying and selling narcotics, and was released from jail in a suspicious way before his term was over before he came to Iraq.
11. Jamshid Charlang is another agent who lived in the TIPF for four years. An IRGC member named “ Cheraghali Gourdi” had brought him to Iraq and to the PMOI camps. The PMOI expelled the said IRGC member immediately, but Jamshid Charlang requested to stay with the PMOI. Finally, he left for the TIPF in March 2004.
12. Batoul Ebrahimi was another MOIS mole in the PMOI who has been sent to Europe by the MOIS. She was brought to the NLA by Shahmorad Zare’i, an agent of the MOIS branch in Ilam( Iran’s western province) whose role was disclosed by the counterintelligence department of the NLA in March 1998. He was also in charge of arrest and martyrdom of a number of PMOI members and sympathizers.
13. Batout Ebrahimi was asked several times to leave the PMOI camp and go after her ordinary life, but she used to say that she did not have any reliable guardian in Iran. She also said that the MOIS agents had some pictures and handwritings of her that would make her collaborate with the MOIS. She insistently asked to stay with the PMOI as a person who had no guardian.
Following Iraq’s war in 2003, two people who introduced themselves as Batoul’s mother and uncle came from Ilam to visit her. It was proved later on that Batoul Ebrahimi had no such an uncle, and he had been an agent of Ilam’s Intelligence who had brought her a message and some pictures which were hidden on the backside of a mirror. Consequently in January 2006, Batoul Ebrahimi stole a car and escaped from Ashraf and went to the TIPF. She left the TIPF in January 2008 and went Iran. Following few weeks of stay in Iran, the MOIS send her to Europe.
14. Alireza Nasrollahi is another agent who joined the PMOI in Iraq in January 2001. After it came known that he had been arrested in Iran three times for ordinary crimes and had been released upon the condition of collaborating with the regime, he was discharged and sent to the TIPF. Shortly, he established his connections with the MOIS in the TIPF.
After entering France illegally, Alireza Nasrollahi along with other three agents, Batoul Ebrahimi, Jamshid Chaharlang and Ali Paak, gathered in a restaurant in Paris on April 5th with some infamous agents of the MOIS such as Javad Firouzmand, Mohammad Hossein Sobhani, Jahangir Shadanlou, Amir Movassaghi, Batoul Maleki, Ali Ghashghavi as well as Ehsan Neraghi and Ali Raastbin, to expose the so-called “ violation of human rights by the PMOI” and “the murder of dissident members”!
Yet, it is not clear why they did not say a word about these issues during screening procedure and private investigations by various US agencies which was repeated seven times, and while they were in the TIPF for some years under the supervision of US forces, which could be heard and investigated on the scene? Rather they were prompted to repeat such allegations right after they met with and joined the infamous Ministry of Intelligence.
A French official denied that they were accepted to France as refugees and called it “absolutely false”. This is while the mullahs’ Ministry of Intelligence still seeks to send and manipulate agents of the same type to European countries.
15. Last February, while disclosing the MOIS tricks, the PMOI declared: “According to the MNF-I commanders, nobody has left the TIPF involuntarily. Every individual was granted refugee status and a laissez-passer travel document valid for 6 months as well as a UN identification card for passing through checkpoints…The PMOI spokesman reminded that after all, the MNF-I and the relevant international organizations are responsible. The spokesman added, “Meanwhile, as PMOI has already declared, the gates of Ashraf are open to asylum-seekers and any individual who asks for help, and the PMOI would not hesitate to provide help or assistance within its capabilities.”
16. Since the MOIS insists on introducing its newly- recruited agents as the “former PMOI members”, it should be reminded that the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran announced four years ago in its statement of August 3, 2004, on the legal status of the PMOI, “As the agreement of the legal status of the Ashraf Residents as protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention was signed, the leadership of the Resistance and the officials of the PMOI strongly emphasized on the need and importance of making the final choice at this turning point. Thus, all individuals were reminded that before signing the Agreement, they must once again think of their final choice freely and voluntarily. They can go after their desired life and pursue their desirable option. But if they want to stay in Ashraf and continue their struggle for freedom, they must consider all the probable risks.
Finally, some 200 individuals chose to leave Iraq and moved to the exit facility of Camp Ashraf under the control of U.S. forces. More than 3,400 chose to continue to stay in Ashraf and continue their struggle.”
Reminding the decision of Council of Ministers of EU in April 1997 that prohibits the entry and presence of the Iranian regime’s MOIS agents to the European countries, the PMOI asks for the arrest and prosecution and expulsion of the mullahs’ MOIS agents in the EU member countries. The MOIS agents are not only active against the Iranian opposition and the refugees and asylum-seekers, but also act against the security and tranquility of the European countries, and the religious fascism deploys them whenever needed for terrorist acts.
