Over 2,000 Afghan Migrants Repatriated from Iran and Pakistan
The Taliban Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation has announced that 2,108 Afghan migrants have been repatriated from Iran and Pakistan, under both voluntary and forced circumstances.
According to the ministry, 1,759 migrants returned from Iran and 349 from Pakistan.
The statement released on Sunday noted that these migrants crossed back into Afghanistan through the Towrgondi and Islam Qala border crossings.
Despite international human rights organisations calling for a cessation of expulsions, Tehran and Islamabad continue to detain, expel, and apply pressure on Afghan migrants.
