Who is to blame?
In the face of public and international pressure, on December 14, 1998,
President Mohammad Khatami announced the establishment of a special
committee to investigate the killings, but before the inquiry even
began, apparently the régime’s leaders already knew the answers.
President Khatami said: “These murders are ominous schemes of the
enemies of independence and freedom of the Islamic state.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, headed the komiteh in Tehran’s eastern
Jaleh and Farah-Abad districts.

 The forgotten victims
These four victims were the only ones whose killings were later
acknowledged as having been perpetrated by a gang headed by Saeed Emami
or Eslami, the Deputy Minister of Intelligence. There were many
other mysterious killings, however, which may possibly have been the
work of this death squad, or of other assassins in the Ministry.
Dozens of intellectuals, writers and journalists opposed to the régime
had disappeared or died suddenly or by violent means in the years
leading up to the chain murders. In January, 1999, the Iranian Human
Rights Working Group (IHRWG) in the British Parliament wrote to the UN
calling their attention to the “chilling resemblance, in terms of their
targets and methods, to an earlier string of disappearances and
mysterious deaths that occurred in 1996 and 1997”.

 Early in the year 2000, after the escalation of activities of the
agents of MOIS in various western countries, the police in these
countries interviewed many of them and warned them against their
relations with the mullahs’ Ministry of Intelligence. At the same, time
Karim Haghi issued a statement under the name of a society called
"Peyvand" (an association established by agents of Ministry of
Intelligence in The Netherlands). Excerpts of the statement follow:

 In a report by the Directorate of the NLA’s Counter
Intelligence Ministry about Farhad Javaheri Yar we read: “He had an
auto shop and came to Iraq from Pakistan in 1989 and joined the
Mojahedin. In 1994, he became a security suspect due to his pledge to
cooperate with the regime and his suspicious exit from a prison in
Zahedan. From then on, he was always complaining over what he said was
'the organization's suspicion of me as an infiltrator.’” On November
26, 1995, he stole a wire clipper and attempted to run away from the
Ashraf Camp.

 At the end of 1998, the Iranian public was horrified and amazed by
the brutal murders of four prominent intellectuals, later to be
described in the Iranian media as the “chain murders”.
The
first to die were Dariush Forouhar, the 70-year-old leader of the Iran
People’s Party, and his 54-year-old wife Parvaneh. Outspoken but
apparently tolerated critics of the Iranian régime, they were stabbed
to death on Sunday November 22, 1998 in their Tehran flat, on the
anniversary of the suspicious death of Dr Kazem Sami, another
dissident, in 1989. Mr Forouhar was decapitated, and one of Parvaneh’s
breasts had been cut off.

 Some of the Intelligence Ministry agents now being used in the
propaganda campaign against the PMOI have committed murder or other
serious crimes against PMOI members. Qassem Salehi, for example, is one
of the individuals used by the Intelligence Ministry in Tehran to meet
with journalists and foreign visitors and pose as a former member of
the Mojahedin. He was an MOIS agent who was sent on a specific mission
to assassinate resistance officials.

“Tell a lie that is big enough, and repeat it often enough, and the whole world will believe it.”
Josef Goebbels
“Psychological warfare is an indispensable part of our strategy. It is
not a tactic in and of itself.” The confidential memorandum came from
the Islamic Culture and Communication Organization (ICCO), a key agency
for export of fundamentalism and Islamic Revolution, and underscored
the importance of psychological warfare against the Iranian Resistance.
The clerical regime has invested greatly on this strategy against the
Iranian Resistance and set up an elaborate apparatus to implement it.
The Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), the ICCO, the Foreign
and Islamic Guidance ministries and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards
Corps (IRGC) are all involved in psychological warfare against the PMOI.

 Those who are actively in the service of mullahs’ propaganda
and espionage campaign against Iranian dissidents and the PMOI abroad
can be classified into three categories, according to their background
and their effectiveness. The common denominator is that they are now
working for the MOIS.
The first group consists of those who have been agents of the MOIS or
the Revolutionary Guards’ Qods Force and were sent to Iraq on a
specific assignment to infiltrate the Mojahedin and the National
Liberation Army of Iran. Many of these agents have been arrested and
later released by the PMOI after the completion of investigation into
their cases; they returned to where they came from.

 Karim Haghi introduces himself as “the former head of personal
protection of Maryam Rajavi and now a political refugee in the
Netherlands” and claims that he was a “member of the People’s Mojahedin
for 15 years.”
Haghi has never been “the head of personal protection of Mrs. Rajavi”
or a “member of the Mojahedin for 15 years”. Haghi was in the NLA like
thousands of other combatants and, like all the others, performed
sentry and guard duties on a rotational basis.

From the Enemies of the Ayatollahs by Mohammad Mohaddessin
“Thanks to its dedicated, pious and experienced personnel, our
country’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) is one of the
most powerful intelligence organizations in the world.”
Ali Younessi
Every government has its own intelligence and spy agencies. Organised
crime gangs operate in almost every corner of the world. Terrorists are
also active in many countries. But in only one country, all three
operate under one government agency: Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence
and Security.
According to insiders and defectors, the MOIS is a notorious mafia of
terror, murder, espionage and organized crime. Much has been said about
this agency whose huge budget and unrestrained power have turned it
into one of the key pillars of the mullahs’ regime. But the most
shocking accounts have come from those who worked inside the MOIS and
collaborated with it for years.

Secretariat reported the departure of a group of individuals, who given
a choice of staying in Ashraf or leaving to pursue a normal life, had
decided to leave.
