For many years, the MOIS used the services of Jamshid Tafrishi, whom it
claimed was a “senior PMOI member.” The MOIS used him to establish
contact with activists and artists who were cooperating with the
National Council of Resistance of Iran and encourage them to leave the
ranks of the Resistance. Tafrishi also played a vital role in the
regime’s anti-Mojahedin propaganda, including “the imprisonment,
torture and harassment of former PMOI members,” “PMOI’s involvement in
the suppression of Iraqi Kurds” and “acting as the go-between for the
Iraqi regime to purchase chemical and nuclear materials.” |

Another Iranian refugee, Mahmoud Massoudi, wrote a letter in August
2002 to Ruud Lubbers, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and
revealed the active links between the MOIS and agents who operate as
“ex-PMOI members” in such propaganda campaigns. |

The MOIS tried to use another infiltrator, Houshang Khosrowpour Bayat
to obtain information about the National Liberation Army needed to plan
terrorist attacks on the Mojahedin. Bayat came to Iraq in 1988 and
sought to join the NLA. He informed relevant NLA officials of all the
plots devised by the MOIS. |
