 As the June 17 case is beginning to falter, the Iranian Ministry of
Intelligence and Security (MOIS) is planning to send an already exposed
MOIS agent to France from Iran, claiming that he was a senior member of
the People’s Mojahedin who had purportedly fled from Camp Ashraf a
month ago. This is the latest bid by the MOIS to revive the waning
campaign of misinformation and demonization against the Iranian
Resistance.
Unable to cope with revelations on the international scene about their
new president, Revolutionary Guardsman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the
mullahs, utterly foolish and desperate, are trying to again put the
spotlight on the Iranian Resistance.
The agent in question is named Javad Firouzmand, a.k.a Afshin Boroumand.
Fourteen months ago, on April 28, 2004, in the course interviews
conducted by a team from the U.S. Department of State at Camp Ashraf,
Firouzmand left for the exit facility controlled by the U.S. forces. He
was repatriated to Iran on March 9, 2005. This MOIS operative was
in contact with the Iranian regime’s embassy in Baghdad several years
ago and his MOIS handler in Tehran was named Mohammad Alavi.
Carrying out a directive by the MOIS, Firouzmand fled the Mojahedin
with false identification papers and stole three weapons,
walkie-talkies, a car and a large amount of cash on July 15, 2001. He
was arrested by the Iraqi police before making it to the Iranian
embassy in Baghdad.
Consistent with Iraqi law, the police had to refer the case to relevant
organs to prosecute Firouzmand on espionage charges. He expressed
remorse and pleaded with the Mojahedin to allow him to return.
The PMOI appealed to Iraqi police to hand him over the organization to
prevent his prosecution and punishment and gave him the choice of going
to Iran to live a normal life. Firouzmand insisted that he wanted to
stay at PMOI camps. Documents and evidence on his contacts with the
MOIS and his appeals to stay with the Mojahedin are available for
review.
The Iranian Resistance draws the attention of European governments to
the conspiracies of the mullahs’ agents and activities by their
espionage and terrorist networks against Iranian refugees as well as
members and sympathizers of the Iranian Resistance. It calls on them to
pursue, punish and expel Tehran’s agents and prevent European soil from
becoming the roaming ground for the MOIS.
