 He arrived in Iraq in February 1989 from Turkey and joined
the Mojahedin. He pretended to be suffering from paralyses when he was
called for security check before going to an operation. But the
specialist physicians rejected his claim after carrying out tests
(letter by a specialist is available).
Nevertheless, maximum care was taken and several people looked after
him. He was particularly interested in collecting information. In 1998
when he felt that he was being considered as security suspect, he asked
his membership to be suspended and wrote: “I would like my membership
to be suspended and stripped of my organizational responsibilities.
Due to my physical state, I cannot have any effective military activity
within the framework of the NLA and assume responsibilities.” He
continued living alongside the Mojahedin until he was eventually
expelled in summer of 2001, at which time he asked to remain for two
years at a center inside Camp Ashraf for those who wish to go back to
ordinary life. Later, however, he started threatening the organization
and was, therefore, expelled from the Mojahedin and went to Iran. He
was later sent abroad together with Sobhani and a number of others by
the Intelligence Ministry. It is interesting that Parhizkari claimed in
an interview outside Iran that he has become paralyzed under torture by
the Mojahedin. |
