Three Thousand Afghan Migrants Deported Daily from Iran
Bayan News – Iranian media, citing officials from the Islamic Republic, have reported that approximately three thousand undocumented Afghan migrants are deported daily from Iran.
Hossein Sharafati-Rad, Director General of Foreign Nationals and Migrants Affairs in Iran’s Razavi Khorasan Province, stated that undocumented migrants are first detained and then deported to Afghanistan via the Dogharoun border.
On Monday (November 2), Sharafati-Rad traveled to Taybad and inspected a proposed site for building a camp for “undocumented Afghan nationals.”
This camp is planned to be built on 20 hectares of land in Taybad, near the Dogharoun border.
The Director General of Foreign Nationals and Migrants Affairs in Razavi Khorasan noted, “Establishing a camp for undocumented Afghan nationals at this official border plays a significant role in organizing them and requires the special attention of national authorities.”
Since Massoud Pezeshkian assumed his role in Iran, the process of forcibly deporting Afghan migrants from the country has intensified.
