Some Iranian media outlets have reported that from the beginning of the current solar year until the 5th of Dalwa (solar year), Iran has deported 586,000 undocumented Afghan citizens.

According to reports, these migrants were collected from various cities in Iran and returned to Afghanistan through the Dogharoon border crossing.

A section of a report by one Iranian media outlet states: "The acting deputy for security and law enforcement in Razavi Khorasan province said 586,000 undocumented Afghan nationals have been collected from various cities and returned to their country through the Dogharoon border crossing of this province since the beginning of the year until the 5th of Dalwa (solar year)."

At the same time, some Afghan migrants still residing in Iran are demanding solutions to their challenges.

"They harassed us a lot. Some of their officers beat us, and some tore up our passports,” Ekhteyar Safi, an Afghan migrant in Iran, told TOLOnews.

"Negotiations should be held with the Iranian government to resolve the migrants' problems,” said Naseer Alami, another Afghan migrant in Iran.

Meanwhile, another Afghan citizen named Musa, who was deported from Pakistan and is now planning to travel to Kunduz, described the challenges faced by Afghan migrants in Pakistan: "They threw us out of our homes. They asked for migration documents and cards, took money, and imprisoned us. They tortured us until we came to Afghanistan."

However, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations has reported that in the past three weeks, nearly 12,000 migrants have returned to the country from Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey.

Abdul Mutalib Haqqani, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations, added: "Approximately 12,000 Afghans have returned to the country from Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey—76 from Turkey, around 3,000 from Pakistan, and 9,000 from Iran."

Abdul Jabbar Takhari, the Consul General of the Islamic Emirate in Karachi, has also pledged efforts to address the challenges faced by Afghan migrants in Pakistan.

The Consul General of the Islamic Emirate in Karachi said: "Afghan migrants who were arrested in Pakistan have been released before going to prison, thanks to the efforts of the Islamic Emirate's consulate, and have returned to their homes."

Previously, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations had announced the release of more than 880 Afghan citizens from Pakistani prisons in the past month.
