According to the Taliban's Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, 19,120 migrants have been deported from Pakistan and Iran to Afghanistan in the past week.

The Taliban's Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation said that among those deported from Iran and Pakistan, women and children were also included.
The ministry added that Afghan migrants returned to Afghanistan through Torkham, Spin Boldak, Islam Qala, and Pul-e-Abrisham border crossings.
In recent months, the governments of Iran and Pakistan have significantly increased the deportation of Afghan migrants, expelling hundreds of undocumented migrants from these countries daily.
Additionally, some migrants deported from Pakistan and Iran in recent months have claimed that despite having legal documents, they were first detained by the police and then repatriated to Afghanistan.
These Afghan migrants have sent videos to Afghanistan International, complaining about mistreatment by Iranian police in the refugee camps.
