NCRI – The camping of the Iranian regime’s agents, posing as families of Ashraf residents, at the main entrance gate of Camp Ashraf has been going on for over 70 days. This is a joint plot by the Iranian regime and the government of Nouri al-Maliki to create chaos and put the residents under psychological torture. One of the tasks of these agents who are dispatched by the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and the terrorist Quds force is espionage and to gather intelligence about Ashraf and its residents to be used in terrorist and criminal operations.
With mobile and fixed cameras, the agents, who are backed by the Iraqi forces, have been filming and taking photos from people and premises inside Ashraf. The films and photos are attached with reports by the agents and sent to Quds force and MOIS via the Iranian regime’s embassy in Baghdad.
On February 20, 2010, the agents installed a camera on the southern part of the entrance zoomed on one of the buildings near the entrance inside Ashraf. It constantly films people going in and out of the building. On the same day, a team of three MOIS agents filmed various parts at the entrance.
In the first week of the Iranian New Year starting March 21, the MOIS agents in conjunction with officers of the Iraqi Army Intelligence, Estekhbarat, installed two cameras behind the gate to take pictures and films. The agents continue taking films and photos during the night using special cameras. Patients going in and out of the clinic inside Ashraf are constantly filmed.
On March 29, seven agents photographed and filmed the area inside the camp. On April 3, they installed two movie cameras behind the gate. On April 6 they installed three more cameras at the same location.
On April 9, when the agents took over a building at the camp’s entrance, they installed a camera on top of the building to enable them to photograph a wider area inside the camp. Since April 11, two cameras are mounted outside the gate and used for filming the area inside the camp and the traffic on the camp’s main road.
The Iranian Resistance warns against such repressive measures by the Iranian regime and the Iraqi government planned to set the stage for killing of Ashraf residents and carry out terrorist operations against them. The Iranian Resistance calls on the United Nations, the U.S. embassy and the American forces in Iraq to take necessary steps to end the blatant, continuous and systematic violations of the rights of Ashraf residents.
