NCRI – According to reports received from within the Iranian regime, on Sunday July 4, simultaneous with the withdrawal of US forces from Camp Ashraf, a new group of agents of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) entered Iraq under the guise of relatives of Ashraf residents in order to replace other MOIS agents currently stationed outside the gates of Ashraf to step up the psychological torture of Ashraf residents.
The 13 agents who entered Iraq from the Khosravi border crossing were accompanied by an MOIS commander called Yaqoubi from Tehran. Their trip was previously coordinated by the regime's embassy in Baghdad, the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Prime Ministerial Committee responsible for suppression of Ashraf residents.
As previously agreed and in order for the agents not to be identified, they crossed the border as a group and Iraqi border officers stamped a single paper to permit them group entry clearance rather than stamping each agent's passport individually. In Baghdad, they received final instructions from the regime's embassy officials and from there will be transferred to the gates of Ashraf.
Since February 8, 2010 and with the full assistance of the Iraqi government and its forces, the MOIS and the regime's terrorist Qods Force have stationed a group of their agents under the guise of relatives of Ashraf residents at the gates of Ashraf. The agents, using 30 powerful megaphones, threaten the residents with murder, torture and a bloodbath on a daily basis from first thing in the morning to last thing at night. These actions undoubtedly constitute a form of psychological torture and are crimes against humanity.
The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN Secretary General's special representative in Iraq, UNAMI, the US embassy and American forces in Iraq, who all have responsibility for the protection of Ashraf residents, to take urgent action to bring an end to this despicable campaign of psychological torture of the unarmed and defenseless residents of Ashraf.
