Professional agents dispatched to Ashraf
Disclosure of direct role by Maliki and the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in suppression increases the need to deploy U.S. forces in Ashraf
NCRI – In the ninth month of psychological torture of PMOI members in Ashraf, public abhorrence inside and outside Iran against this repulsive campaign rises by the day and families of Ashraf residents refuse any cooperation with the Iranian regime. Hence, mullahs’ intelligence has put aside all disguises and is now dispatching its professional and well-known agents, with no family connection with Ashraf residents whatsoever, to Ashraf to continue its psychological torture of the residents.
On Thursday, October 21, seven such agents by the names of Hamid Dehdar Hassani, Yabar Qanavati, Maki Rafi’i, Ali Ekrami, Taleb Farhan, Nader Bani-Farhan and Abdulhadi Roumipour, who have been serving the Iranian regime’s Intelligence Ministry for years, were dispatched to Ashraf.
These agents, with assistance from Iraqi forces, installed 20 more loudspeakers in southern flank of Ashraf and now the total number of loudspeakers used by agents in the main entrance and the southern edge surpasses eighty.
Hamid Dehdar Hassani is responsible for one of the Intelligence Ministry branches in Khuzestan province called the Nejat Association. His mission is to intimidate families of PMOI members in this province. The name and description of this intelligence agent was disclosed in a book called ”Burnt cards of the Ministry of Intelligence” published by the counter intelligence branch of the National Liberation Army of Iran in 2001. He is a despised figure amongst people of Khuzestan.
Another dispatched agent is called Yabar Qanavati. He is a member of Nejat Association of Khuzestan in the city of Mahshahr. He has been actively involved in the suppression of families of PMOI members in Khuzestan and particularly in Mahshahr. His links to the Intelligence Ministry was revealed in a program by the Iranian National TV station (INTV) in July 2005 with the relevant documents.
Maki Rafi’i is another agent who has been used by Muwaffaq al-Rubaie, Maliki’s former National Security Adviser, against Ashraf residents several times including January 19 and March 21, 2009. In its statements issued on January 20 and March 22, 2009, Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran exposed his role and the Iraqi government’s intention of using him.
Escalating suppression and intensifying psychological torture against Ashraf residents are the most important conditions set by the religious fascism ruling Iran in return for its support for Nouri al-Maliki’s second term in office. Quoting reports from inside the regime, the Iranian Resistance revealed on Friday October 22: “The two main issues discussed with Nouri al-Maliki [during his visit to Tehran] were ‘how to fully remove Iraq out of US dominance’ and ‘talks about annihilation of the Monafeqin [derogatory term used by the Iranian regime for PMOI]’. Maliki’s meeting with Jalili, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, ‘concentrated on Monafeqin and their expulsion from Ashraf and Iraq.’ The solution put forward by the Islamic Republic is to increase pressures on Ashraf in the first stage and assume full control over it; Mr. Maliki was briefed in these meetings about the ways he should impose these pressures. In the second stage, the Monafeqin are to be moved to remote places, to two or three camps, away from the Iranian border to force them to return back to Iran.”
While recently disclosed documents of the US forces in Iraq leave no doubt about the direct role of Maliki and terrorist Quds Force in executions, tortures and murders in that country, the Iranian Resistance draws the attention of the United Nations, the US government and the American forces in Iraq to the serious threats that put the lives of 3,400 Iranian dissidents in Ashraf at risk, and calls for redeployment of the American forces and the UN monitoring team inside Ashraf.
