Kabul 24<\/strong><\/a>: However, this statement comes amid reports that none of Iran’s consulates in Afghanistan are currently issuing visas, effectively making legal entry inaccessible for many Afghans.Credible reports from Iran indicate multiple instances where police have torn up valid visas and passports of Afghan migrants.<\/p>\n

These actions, widely regarded as violations of migrants’ rights, have sparked significant concern among Afghan<\/a> communities in Iran.<\/p>\n

Despite these<\/p>\n

Marhamati claimed that only Afghans lacking legal documents are subject to deportation from Iran. Contrarily, evidence suggests that even some migrants with valid visas have been expelled, revealing a clear discrepancy between official statements and reality.<\/p>\n

This situation has created numerous challenges for Afghan nationals migrating to Iran due to insecurity, economic hardships, or to reunite with family. The absence of consular services in Afghanistan, coupled with documented violations of migrants’ rights in Iran, has significantly complicated the plight of Afghan migrants. Many, seeking better lives or safety, now face the risk of unlawful deportation and unfair treatment.<\/p>\n

The international community and human rights organizations have expressed concern over the treatment of Afghan migrants in Iran, calling for greater transparency in Iran’s migration policies and adherence to migrants’ legal rights.<\/p>\n

There is an urgent need for Iranian authorities to address these inconsistencies and ensure the protection of migrants’ rights, particularly for those with valid documentation.<\/p>\n

The ongoing situation underscores the necessity for clear and humane policies to safeguard the dignity and rights of Afghan migrants in Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
