Every day up to 3,000 Afghans \u2014 some who were born in Iran \u2014 arrive back in their home country after a failed attempt at a better life. \u201cRefugees face a lot of physical and mental torture,\u201d Abdul Ghani Qazizada, responsible for registering the arrivals in the border town of Islam Qala, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Many entered Iran illegally or let their visas expire. Nearly 90 percent have been deported, with the rest returning voluntarily. The rate of expulsions has increased \u201cin the last six months\u201d, said Qazizada. \u201cThey are warned there (in Iran) that they must leave within one week, or anyone above 18 must deposit 100 million toman ($2,375) in the bank,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are the people who return to Afghanistan voluntarily because of this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These refugees in counterfeit Fendi or Dior T-shirts are registered by the Afghan authorities and examined by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). To rebuild their lives, they are given 2,000 Afghanis ($29) per person if they arrive with their family, but nothing if they are alone. Ramazan Azizi, 36, waits, haggard, on a blue plastic chair to be registered with his wife and three children.<\/p>\n<p>They entered Iran illegally in 2023, after paying $1,220 to a trafficker but have faced growing hostility towards Afghans, accused of increasing unemployment and prices but also crime in a country under international sanctions. \u201cThe owners had to pay a fine because they rented their home to us. They threw our things out of the windows,\u201d Azizi, a construction worker, told AFP. \u201cThey (authorities) told us to pack up and we did, we were taken to a military camp to be deported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the family was crammed in with 2,000 to 3,000 other Afghans for six days. \u201cWe were exhausted\u2026 without food or water,\u201d he said, his little girl wearing a pink T-shirt with rabbits on it sat by his side. Tears flow from Fazila Qaderi, 26, as she recounts the ordeal she and her husband endured in the Karaj camp near the capital Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>The guards &#8216;beat us a lot for six or seven days with metal batons&#8217;, making no distinction between men and women. \u201cI saw an Afghan die, and they shouted at him \u2018son of a bitch, go home!\u2019,\u201d she said, adding that her husband suffered broken bones. \u201cYesterday I told (the guards): \u2018kill me or send us back to Afghanistan\u2019.\u201d They arrived in Iran four years ago, having paid a smuggler, as farm workers in the central-northern province of Qazvin.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/driven-out-of-iran-afghan-refugees-tell-of-ordeal\/article\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/driven-out-of-iran-afghan-refugees-tell-of-ordeal\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/yleinen\/driven-out-of-iran-afghan-refugees-tell-of-ordeal\/\">Driven out of Iran, Afghan refugees tell of ordeal<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[16327,4533,606,607,608,655],"class_list":["post-134263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-afghan-refugees","tag-iran","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134263\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
