Afghanistan Peace Campaign
Ahmad Reza Radan, the General Commander of Iran’s security forces, announced that 850,000 undocumented Afghan migrants have been deported from the country.
On Tuesday, October 29, Tasnim News Agency reported, quoting the Iranian official, that foreign nationals without proper documentation are not allowed to work or reside in Iran.
This comes amid increasing pressure and restrictions by the Islamic Republic against Afghan migrants, with authorities frequently emphasizing the deportation of undocumented migrants from the country.
Just yesterday, Nasser Farshid, the Police Commander of Kerman, stated that more than 38,000 undocumented migrants have been deported from the province this year alone.
He urged employers to refrain from providing work to undocumented migrants.
Previously, Iranian officials warned that by the end of this solar year, a total of two million undocumented migrants would be deported from the country.
