Since February 8, 2010, the Iranian regime has dispatched a number of agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), posing as relatives of Camp Ashraf residents, to the Camp's main gate, where they have been stationed with the help of the Iraqi Committee in the Iraqi Prime Minister’s Office, tasked to suppress Ashraf.
Their goal is to intimidate the residents and to create more tension. From time to time, they are replaced with new agents. Using high powered sound systems round-the-clock, they chant profanity and slogans such as "Death to Monafeqin (derogatory term used by mullahs against the PMOI)" and "Long live the Islamic Republic". They have threatened Camp residents with execution, massacre and burning.
The protest by Iranians in Toronto was held as a new group of MOIS agent was dispatched from Khuzistan Province on March 29, as an attempt to increase pressure against the residents.
On March 30-31, the MOIS agents outside Ashraf chanted: “Your lives have come to an end. This is the end of Ashraf. Prisoners of Ashraf, Your time is up, Ashraf’s time is up. Guns and bullets, like machineguns, hit the heads of Ashraf residents. Ashraf is finished. Monafeqin beware, the day of your destruction has begun. We have come here now to destroy your resting place.”
The protestors called on the UN Secretary General’s Special Representative for Iraq and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to urgently intervene to end the psychological torture of the residents.
