Afghan migrants who have been deported from Iran have complained about mistreatment by the border forces of that country.

The deported migrants told TOLOnews that if job opportunities were provided within the country, they would never go to Iran illegally.

“We call on the government to provide employment opportunities for people. No one including me will go to Iran,” said Abdul Mateen, a deportee from Iran.
“The problem in our country is that there are not employment opportunities. May Allah help us find a good job no matter if it is a low-paying job," said Jamshid, another migrant deported from Iran.

The Afghan migrants added that if job opportunities are provided for them within the country, they would not go to Iran anymore.

“We ask the Islamic Emirate to provide employment for us. We will not leave the country, even if we earn 100 Afs (around $1.6) per day,” said Hatam, s deportee from Iran.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Qasim Khalid, the governor of Nimroz, said that by launching major development projects, job opportunities for thousands of people will be provided within the country.

The governor of Nimroz said: "We have assigned a migrants committee on the border with Iran to provide social and health services. We assure the Afghan migrants of full security and that working opportunities will be provided for youth as some major national projects are underway across the country.”

Despite extensive efforts, TOLOnews was unable to obtain a statement from the Iranian consulate in Kandahar on this matter.
