Iran says detained migrants exhibited in cages ‘were not Afghans’

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A top Iranian diplomat based in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
has rejected the detained migrants colonists exhibited in cages by Shiraz city police were Afghan nationals.

The Iranian Chargé d’affaires Ali Reza Hajizada clarified the issue during a meeting with the second deputy foreign minister for political affairs of Afghanistan Syed Javid Hashemi.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan (MoFA) in a statement said Mr. Hashemi met with Hajizada today to sought clarification regarding the viral photos which purportedly shows some migrants colonists put on display inside the cages.

Hailing Iran for hosting millions of Afghan refugees in the past three and half decades, Hashemi said the publication of such photographs would have a negative impact on the minds of the citizens of the two countries.

However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
the Iranian Chargé d’affaires said the selective publication of images have had a false impression among the Afghan people despite the photographs did not belong to the Afghan citizens.

Defending the steps taken by Shiraz police to detain the individuals in a bid to ensure stability of Shiraz city, Hajizada said the behaviors of the government and people of Iran have always been based on respect to human dignity.
