The Islamic Emirate's Deputy Ministry of Justice Abdul Ghani Fayeq met with Iran’s high-ranking judicial delegation headed by Kazem Gharib Abadi, the secretary of the High Council for Human Rights of Iran, where he discussed the transportation of Afghan detainees from Iran.
RTA quoted Kazem Gharib Abadi as saying that his country is committed to transferring Afghan prisoners from Iran to Afghanistan and providing facilities to Afghan refugees in his country.
“There is a need to have connections with each other in judicial, legal and consulate areas. Considering the mass number of the Afghan nationals living in Iran, it is important that the judicial system of Iran and Afghanistan be in contact,” Gharib said.
Fayeq urged Iran to cooperate with the Islamic Emirate in various fields.
“The delegation met with various institutions in a bid to increase trust building and solve the problems of Afghanistan,” he said.
“The issues between Iran and Afghanistan in general are focusing on the problems of the refugees and the detainees who are detained on charges of some allegations,” said Zabiullah Mujahid, Islamic Emirate’s spokesman.
The visit of the delegation from Iran’s judicial system to Afghanistan happens at a time when, based on statistics, more than 6,000 Afghans are imprisoned in Iran.
“The visit of Iran’s delegation to Afghanistan comes at a time when the Afghans are facing many problems in Iran. There are many detainees there [Iran],” said Wahid Faqiri, a political analyst.
Earlier, the acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, also met with the Iranian delegation and discussed an alternative mechanism for the Afghan prisoners abroad.
