Former Attorney General of Afghanistan: Iranian border forces committed crimes against humanity
Bayan News – Farid Hamidi, the former Attorney General of Afghanistan, stated that the deliberate killing of Afghan migrants by the border forces of the Islamic Republic constitutes a crime against humanity.
On Wednesday (October 16), Hamidi reacted on the platform X, calling on the United Nations and human rights organizations to punish those responsible for this crime.
The former Attorney General of Afghanistan wrote: “The deliberate attack and killing, with the knowledge that they are defenseless and vulnerable migrants and refugees, is a crime against humanity, a severe and inhumane crime.”
The former Attorney General also criticized the Taliban, saying that the group lacks the ability to defend the rights of citizens abroad and shows no sense of responsibility in this matter.
He added: “The United Nations, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court, and other relevant institutions must take serious action and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
According to published reports, dozens of Afghan migrants trying to enter Iran illegally were killed by gunfire from Iranian border forces.
