The German security agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Bfv, wrote in its 2002 annual report:
The exiled opposition in Germany is still in the core of the surveillance activity of Iran’s secret service, MOIS… MOIS, at present, is apparently focusing on defusing the opposition groups and their political activity. In this respect MOIS resorts to leading and financing propaganda against the opposition including those voiced by previous opponents of the regime. Like previous years Iran’s secret service tries to enlist active or ex- members of opposition groups. This, in many instances, is taking place with intimidation of them or their families who are living in Iran.
