KABUL (Agencies): Some expelled refugees from Turkey and Iran complain about the misbehavior of soldiers of these two countries against the citizens of Afghanistan.
They said that Afghan refugees are getting arrested by Turkish and Iranian police and then are beaten and finally deported.
Khair Mohammad, 40, who has been deported three times from Turkey, said: “I went there to earn something for my family, we were working as guards then the police came and took us. They also beat us.”
Refugees who have recently been deported from Turkey and Iran have asked the caretaker government to address the challenges of the deported.
“We want the elders of the government to do something for us so that we don’t have to leave the country,” said Taj Mohammad, a deported refugee.
Mohammad, who has been deported from Iran, said: “There are no jobs, the economy is weak so young people leave the country and are persecuted there.”
Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate criticized the way the host countries deport Afghan refugees and added that the Islamic Emirate has discussed with the authorities of Turkey, Iran and some other countries preventing the mistreatment of Afghan refugees.
Zabihullah Mujahid, said: “The situation of refugees in both countries, countries where Afghans live, is worrying. But the Islamic Emirate has discussed with the officials of those countries, including Turkey, to remove the high pressure from refugees.”
This comes as Turkish media has reported the arrest of 76 Afghan refugees at a checkpoint in the central village of Tanriyar of that country.
