NCRI – A report by Iranian regime’s official news agency exposed the
connections of an infamous Iranian regime’s agent with Mouwaffaq
al-Rubaie, Iraqi National Security Advisor, on aggression against
members of the Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization
of Iran (PMOI/MEK), residing in Camp Ashraf, Iraq.
On Sunday,
IRNA, the state-run news agency quoted Massoud Khodabandeh saying, “Mr.
al-Rubaie told me that claims by Monafeqin [the term used by the
Iranian regime and its agent to refer to PMOI] on the treatment of
Ashraf Camp residents are lies and their protest is only because they
want to stay in this hideout by all means possible.”
Khodabandeh said that I have personally seen the arrest warrants of
PMOI members "that al-Rubaie holds…they include many ring leaders of
the Monafeqin,” the report added.
On Monday, in a press release,
Khodabandeh’s wife, Ann Singleton Khodabandeh, described the inhuman
measures against Camp Ashraf that include preventing doctors from
entering into the Camp as “al-Rubaie's plan for the difficult task of
dismantling” the PMOI and praised it as “enlightened, humanitarian
approach which could become a blueprint for tackling similar
organizations worldwide.”
In October 2007, The British
Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom headed by Lord Corbett of
Castle Vale, following a comprehensive study of Iranian regime’s agents
in Britain, published a document which revealed that Ann Singleton and
Massoud Khodabandeh worked for the Iranian regimes’ Ministry of
Intelligence .
“In witness statements provided to British Court
by members of the British Committee for Iran Freedom, MPs and Peers set
out the ways in which the regime and its Ministry of Intelligence
operate in Britain,” the report said.
The report also exposed the
details of numerous websites used by the Iranian regime to spread
misinformation against the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran
including the website that is run by Khodabandeh and his wife.
On
January 28, 2009, in a television interview, Khodabandeh introduced
himself as an advisor to the Iraqi government on “terrorism.”
Benyamin Solomon's note :The NCRI as founded in 1981 as the
parliament in exile. It is opposed to the radical Islamist regime in
Iran. It seeks democratic change in Iran. The main group of the NCRI is
the MEK, which was founded as an opposition group to the Shah and which
now opposes the Shah and the current Iranian regime.
