The Iranian Human Rights Organization has reported that in the first seven months of this year, 300 people have been executed in Iran, including 20 Afghan citizens.
The organization stated that 172 of these individuals were executed on drug-related charges.
The organization's press release noted: "In the first seven months of this year, at least 300 people have been executed in Iran. Among the executed were 42 Baluch citizens, 20 Kurdish citizens, 20 Afghan citizens, and 15 women. The charges for 172 of the executed were related to drugs."
Idris Zazi, a political analyst, said: "This year, Iran has executed around twenty Afghans. The main issue here is that the Islamic Emirate should seriously request an investigation from the Iranian government regarding this matter."
Although the Islamic Emirate has not yet commented on this, some analysts believe that to support Afghan citizens in other countries, the Islamic Emirate should establish stronger connections with these countries.
Moeen Gul Samkani, another political analyst, said: "Unfortunately, Afghans, wherever they are, can be accused of any crime a country and its citizens wish to pin on them, and they are often denied the right to a defense attorney. Therefore, if we have evidence regarding criminals with the Iranian government, they could serve their sentences within Afghanistan."
Previously, the Deputy of International Affairs of the Iranian Judiciary stated that nearly 95% of this country's foreign prisoners are Afghan citizens.
