After the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2021 in Afghanistan, he fled his family with his family to neighboring Iran. The lawyer helped send members of the Islamist group to prison and feared that he was arrested for her work – or killed.
More than three years later, he is hiding again in the suburbs of Tehran with his siblings and an eight-year-old son. Iran embarked on a massive deportation ride for 3 million Afghan refugee populations in a country, some of which claim that last month it helped Israeli air strikes in the country.
“I don’t know how long we can stay like prisoners and I don’t know what is ahead of us,” said Nawida, who no longer has a valid visa and did not want to give her full name to avoid identification. “We are calling aloud to the international community to address and help us.”
Iran rounded the Afghan nationals, such as Nawida, because of the accusations that undeveloped migrants from the country spy on Israel and helped him start missiles during the 12 -day bombing in June. It was claimed by the State broadcaster, while the Iranian semi -official press agency Tasnim, which is associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said several Afghans were arrested for spy charges and holding handbooks for drones and bombs.
The Office of the Israeli Prime Minister in Jerusalem, which oversees the spy agency Mossad, did not have an immediate comment.
From June 1, more than 1 million people have returned to Afghanistan, of which 627,000 were deported, the UN said on Friday.
“Our teams are at the border, accepting and helping streams of exhausted, hungry and frightened people,” said E -mail Babar Baloch, spokesman for the High Commissioner for Refugees. “Employees and structures are completely flooded.”
While it is difficult to verify Iranian accusations, they have caused an increase in xenophobic violence and harassing against the already marginalized Afghan community that grew from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent war, including the US invasion of 2001. undocumented and considered illegal.
Iranian officials estimate that the total number of living in the country is closer to six million, or about 7% of the population, and often refer to them as “guests” who have access to housing and basic services at a time when the Iranian economy was tense sanctions.
The UN warned that deportation efforts would have “devastating consequences” for Afghanistan and communities and families. This includes the loss of millions of dollars for the remittance of the Afghans working in Iran every year.
Prime Minister Taliban, Mullah Muhammad Hassan, called on the Iranian authorities to “approach the process of deportation with patience and gradual”. According to his office statement.
This is contrary to the accounts of several deported Bloomberg, who stated that the Iranian authorities were rounding off Afghans on the street before taking them to distant retention centers. They are then taken by bus to the Iranian border crossing in the Islam of Qala, where they move to the province of Herat in Western Afghanistan.
“Many of them have been gone for years, they don’t have a home house,” said Filippo Grandi’s tall refugee commissioner in his statement during the Qual Islam. “Many people live on or below the poverty line, so the tide will be an extraordinary burden in the country.”
The deported faces building a new life in a poor, strongly sanctioned Afghanistan that fights multiple crises, including acute food uncertainty, water deficiency and basic infrastructure crippled by consecutive wars.
Many of them, like Nawida, will be at risk that they will focus on the Taliban if they work for previous Afghan administration or for us and European institutions. Girls and women will be excluded from education after sixth grade and are largely closed outside job opportunities.
It seems to me to come to the largest cage in the world, even though it is my country, “said Ahmad Saber, one of the deported in Herat. “What happens to the education of my three daughters and their future?”
Last week, London’s International Amnesty urged Iran to immediately stop the “violent uproot” of the Afghans because it violates the international principle forbidden to return anyone to a country where they risk violating their human rights. The exclusion of women and girls to Afghanistan causes them mainly danger, Amnesty said because of the Taliban policy for sex persecution.
Research published by UN Assistance Assistance in Afghanistan on Thursday found that Afghans who were forcibly taken to the Taliban state last year experienced serious human rights violations, including torture, poor treatment, any arrest and threat to personal security.
Most Afghans who fled to Iran come from the minority community of Hazar, which, like most Iranians, are Shiite Muslims and faced violent persecution under the Taliban. With strong linguistic and religious ties, Iran was considered a natural port of refuge and shares a relatively porous border with Afghanistan, which is almost 1,000 km long.
However, the Iranian authorities maintain strict limits to the Afghans’ ability to integrate, even after decades of life in the country and raising families. Afghans are generally forbidden to obtain citizenship unless one of the parents is an Iranian national. University and many work sectors are difficult for Afghans, many of which are eventually employed as occasional workers and construction workers.
While the Iranian government claims that its only deportating Afghans have classified as an illegal, Afghan analytical network, an independent research organization, has heard a number of reports of individuals with passports and other legal identities they focus on, creating a panic climate and fear.
“We hear the stories of people who were legally in Iran, and let their paperwork and passports destroy and reverse when the police stopped them on the street,” said Roxanna Shapour of Aan. Then they say, “Now you are illegal,” she said.
