In recent days, disturbing reports of inhumane treatment of Afghan migrants in Iran have surfaced.
In one case, a shocking video shows two Iranian youths insulting and slapping an Afghan migrant without any justifiable reason.
Kabul 24: A disturbing video of two Iranian youths humiliating and slapping an Afghan migrant is the latest example of overt violence against Afghan migrants in Iran. The exact location of the incident is unclear, but the video’s release has sparked a wave of anger and criticism on social media.This is just one instance of the mistreatment migrants face in Iran.
Additionally, reports indicate that Iranian police have, in some cases, treated migrants with violence and even torn up visas issued by the Iranian embassy in Kabul.
These actions not only violate the basic rights of migrants but also demonstrate a disregard for their human dignity.Mass deportations of Afghan migrants have also intensified in recent months, with many individuals returned to their country without the opportunity to defend themselves or access their legal rights.One of the most painful aspects of this situation is the separation of children from their families. There are reports of migrant children being separated from their parents during deportations and left in dire conditions.
These actions not only violate international conventions on the rights of the child but also cause irreparable psychological and social harm to these children.
Furthermore, reports of beatings, including slapping and public humiliation of young migrants, highlight the depth of discrimination and injustice faced by this group.
These behaviors occur while Afghan migrants often come to Iran seeking a better life and safety.
The international community and human rights organizations must respond to this situation and hold the Iranian government accountable for respecting migrants’ rights and adhering to its international obligations.
The continuation of this trend not only undermines human relations but also exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in the region.
