Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani has tasked a 10-member team to probe reports of the drowning of dozens of Afghan migrants by Iranian border security forces earlier this week.

Mohammad Hamid Tahmasbi will lead the probe team, said Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for the Afghan president.

Over 50 Afghan migrants attempting to cross the border with Iran were “tortured and drowned” by Iranian guards, according to eyewitnesses. An Afghan official on Saturday announced that 18 bodies had been found, in addition to 16 found earlier in the week.

The reports sparked strong condemnation in Afghanistan and abroad.
