and here is a part of ISJ report:

The activities of agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Europe date back many years. These
agents have been operating under the direction of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS
or VAJA2 in Farsi) or a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its
notorious Quds Force. Their activities include the assassination of dissidents, espionage against
opponents and spreading mass disinformation against the democratic opposition, similar to the
methods used by the former Soviet KGB.
Outside of its borders, the regime exports its brand of Islamic fundamentalism while training,
arming and funding groups responsible for terrorist atrocities across the Middle East, including in
Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon.
Since the inception of the clerical regime in Iran in 1979, dozens of Iranian dissidents have been
assassinated in Europe. They include representatives of the political coalition National Council of
Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Switzerland and Italy, Iranian Kurdish leaders in Germany and
Austria, as well as other dissidents in France.
On 29 April 2017, Saeed Karimian, a 45-year-old London-based Iranian television executive and
chairman of the GEM satellite TV network, was assassinated in Turkey3 where his TV station had
a branch. In January 2017, a revolutionary court in Tehran had condemned him in absentia to a
six-year prison term for spreading propaganda and acting against national security. In May 2017,
Turkish media reported that two men suspected in the assassination had been arrested with fake
passports in Montenegro on their way to Iran4
.

In July 2016, Maysam Panahi, an MOIS agent, was sentenced in Germany5 to two and half years
for spying on the NCRI and on the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI or MEK).
According to German court papers, he was connected to a veteran intelligence officer of the MOIS.
Panahi was a former affiliate of the PMOI who had left the movement and was later recruited by
Iranian Intelligence.

On 25 March 2017, Mustufa Haidar Syed-Naqfi, a Pakistani national, was convicted in Germany7
of spying for Iran, specifically of searching out potential targets for attacks by the Revolutionary
Guards. Syed-Naqfi was sentenced to four years and three months in prison "for working for a
foreign intelligence service", a spokeswoman for Berlin's superior court said. The court found he
had spied "against Germany and another NATO member", France, for the Quds Force. Syed-Naqfi
compiled dossiers on possible targets – namely a German lawmaker who is the former head of a
A german-Israeli organisation, and a French-Israeli economics professor.
