 Behzad Alishahi, was among those who left Camp Ashraf 15
months ago, on 4 July 2004, two days after the PMOI personnel were
recognized by the Multi-National Force-Iraq as protected persons under
the Fourth Geneva Convention. In a statement on 24 July 2004, the NCRI
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.
He was handed over by US forces to the Iranian regime on 28 February
2005 at the Khosravi border crossing. A representative of the
International Committee of the Red Cross oversaw the transfer. He is
listed at number 7, in the document sent to Tehran from Kermanshah when
these individuals entered Iranian territory.
After recanting he was recruited by the MOIS. Alishahi carried out
several missions in Iran for six months. He accompanied MOIS henchmen
on visits to Mojahedin and NCRI family members to intimidate and coerce
them to abandon their anti-regime activities. Eventually, the MOIS
decided to dispatch Alishahi to Germany this summer and more recently
to France to participate in its disinformation campaign against the
Mojahedin. |
