The Iranian Regime’s Agents in the
Attachment 1 – Lord Corbett’s Statement about the mullahs’ MOIS Activities

HOUSE OF LORDS
25 September 2006
Dear Colleague
It is no surprise that the fundamentalist regime in Iran
I know that MPs and Peers have been sent literature from organisations describing themselves as NGOs or human rights organisations seeking to discredit the PMOI. These include:
• NEJAT Society
• Iran-Interlink
• PEYVAND
• AAWA Association
• Iran
The most active of these is Iran-Interlink run by husband and wife team Masoud and Anne Khodabandeh (Anne Singleton) in Leeds . They never mention the appalling state of human rights and their allegations are merely a rehash of those made by the regimes Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
Anne Singleton regularly travels to Iran Tehran and East Asia for face-to-face briefings. Their front organisation also carry out harassment campaigns against MPs and Peers who support the efforts of the resistance to bring democracy and respect for human rights to Iran.
The mullahs have a sophisticated and well-financed operation against the resistance. A useful summary of these misinformation campaigns is the Mission Report produced by a delegation from the European Parliament who visit Camp Ashraf in Iraq
It is، of course، for you to decide whether to respond to the mullahs letters but you may wish to tell them to take you off their mailing list.
Sincerely
Lord Corbett of Castle Vale
Chairman، British Parliamentary Committee for Iran

Attachment 3 – Statement Issued by European parliamentary committee Friends of a Free Iran about MOIS Activities
29.11.2006Dear
colleagues،
I have come across، as you might have been، with a well-orchestrated propaganda and disinformation campaign by the Iranian regime primarily aimed at tarnishing the image of the main Iranian resistance movement، the National Council of Resistance of Iran and its affiliated organizations، such as the People's Mojahedin (PMOI).
This campaign inevitably reminds me of what Hitler's propaganda minister، Josef Goebbles، said once، "Tell a lie that is big enough and repeat it often enough، and the whole world will believe it."
Once my efforts on behalf of the resistance movement became public، I began to receive dozens of dubious letters from unknown individuals who claimed to be opposed to the regime، but also criticized the Mojahedin. It did not work. The next stage was somehow more sophisticated. This time it was not the Iranian regime or unknown individuals، but people who claimed to be former members of the organization، whose aim was، to put it bluntly، justifying the crimes committed by the terrorist regime ruling Iran
I also received some very slick booklets that had the appearance of being published by genuine cultural associations. But، after reading through them، I could easily discern that the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) was hiding behind all the glossy pages. I have gone through all the allegations such as "terrorism،" "attacking civilians،" "imprisonment of dissidents،" "cult-like behavior،" and a great deal more. I have seen no merit in these allegations.
This propaganda campaign is not lost to European security services either.
German Security Service، the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV)، wrote in its annual 2005 report، "Iran 's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) has several opposition groups under surveillance in Europe . Particularly the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) are the focus of MOIS's attention. For collecting information and spying activities، Iran Iran
In an earlier report in 1999، BfV wrote that the Iranian Resistance "continued to be the focus of the intelligence interest of the Iranian intelligence service… In its fight against the Iranian opposition-in-exile، VEVAK [MOIS] makes use of so-called "cultural associations". These are cover organizations founded as directed by VEVAK and acting in accordance with Iran
The Dutch Security Service، AIVD also wrote، "The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence tries to gather information on the Mojahedin through its members and ex-members as much as possible. Intelligence Ministry officers are instructed to spread negative information against the People's Mojahedin Organization (and its members)."
Against this backdrop، I would like to briefly unmask one of the most notorious of these agents، who are the ringleaders of the MOIS campaign of demonizing the resistance.
Karim Haqi
Karim Haqi has been collaborating with the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) since 1995.
In the spring of 1995، four years after having no contact with the PMOI، he claimed that he had been imprisoned and tortured by the PMOI in Iraq Geneva
Haqi operates out of an outfit called "Payvand". His extensive contacts with the MOIS even drew attention from the Dutch internal security service. They interrogated him on several occasions and warned him about his contacts with and receiving money from the MOIS. Haqi describes one such encounter in his publication، Peyvand : "On Tuesday، 1 February 2000، around 4:30 pm، a Dutch undercover security agent came to my residence in the Elst Township
Other well-known operatives of the MOIS in Europe are Massoud Khodabandeh، who، along with his British wife، Anne Singleton، runs a website called Iran-Interlink، Hadi Shams Haeri، Jaafar Baghal-Nejad، Behzad Alishahi، Nowrouz-Ali Rezvani، Massoud Tayebi and Jamshid Tahmasbi.
As for the specific allegations of Mojahedin mistreating their "disaffected" members، I and another colleague in the European Parliament، André Brie from Germany، went to Camp Ashraf،
We investigated all of the allegations in this regard، which were also raised in a report by Human Rights Watch. We found absolutely no truth in those allegations. We published the results of our thorough investigation in a book entitled، "The Iranian Mojahedin: Mission Report." http://www.paulocasaca.net/PMOI-EN/index.htm

Attachment 5 – Statement Issued by the
COMMUNIQUE
Des Avocats des Membres et Sympathisants du CNRI
Les Avocats des membres du CNRI, depuis presque deux ans, n’ont cessé de rappeler que les charges soi-disant recueillies contre leurs clients étaient inexistantes, et que la procédure initiée avec vacarme le 17 juin 2003, était le résultat direct des pressions du Gouvernement iranien.
Tout est fait pour maintenir un contrôle judiciaire le plus longtemps possible, des membres du CNRI, y compris en laissant entendre récemment que la nouvelle frontière des Magistrats Instructeurs serait un chimérique dossier de « blanchiment ».
Les pressions du régime Iranien sur les opposants sont historiquement connues en Europe. Les méthodes utilisées pour les infiltrer et les disqualifier, la préparation d’actes de terrorisme par les services secrets iraniens ont été décrites par les services de renseignements allemands en 1997, 2000 et 2002 et les services secrets néerlandais en 1998, 2000.
Aujourd’hui, 1er avril 2005, d’informations concordantes et recoupées, il semble que des agents des services secrets iraniens aient décidé d’être présents dans la zone d’Auvers-sur-Oise pour y mener des actions inconnues mais dont l’objectif ne peut être que de discréditer le CNRI, voire de donner de la consistance à la criminalisation dont ils sont artificiellement l’objet.
Les Avocats des Membres du CNRI s’interrogent sur le niveau de relations actuelles, notamment à l’occasion de cette opération entre les services secrets iraniens et la DST.
Ils mettent en garde les autorités françaises sur toutes formes de complaisance qui pourraient conduire à favoriser des comportements dont le seul objet est de tenter de créer, par la provocation, des troubles à l’ordre public.
Les Avocats des Membres du CNRI rappellent que ce sont ces mêmes services secrets iraniens qui « recrutent » des anciens membres de l’organisation pour les transformer en témoins providentiels pour les Magistrats Instructeurs.
Les mêmes Avocats soulignent que simultanément, les autorités d’enquête semblent faire preuve d’un activisme extraordinaire, pour tenter de donner de la consistance aux accusations de « blanchiment », alors que, simultanément, se multiplient des initiatives de toutes parts, pour installer artificiellement des soi-disant parties civiles dans le dossier de la procédure.
Tous ces faits interviennent à la veille du voyage de Monsieur KHATAMI, Président de la République Islamique d’Iran, et alors que les tentatives du régime iranien pour se doter de l’arme nucléaire sont au cœur de ces manœuvres diplomatiques.
