| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Iran has vowed to probe the video which purportedly shows the humiliation and beating of a group of Afghan men by an individual in security forces uniform. The Embassy of Iran in Kabul issued a statement after the video went viral and strongly condemned the humiliation and beating of the men. The statement further added that security authorities in Iran have launched an investigation into the incident, promising that the outcome of the investigations would be shared with the people. The video of an Iranian soldier beating Afghan nationals has been widely shared on social media and other media outlets during the recent days. The video purportedly shows a group of at least nine men lined up beside a wall, are humiliated and slapped in the face by an Iranian soldier who repeatedly asks the men for what reason they have visited Iran. Deputy Afghan Foreign Minister Idrees Zaman also reacted to the video and humiliation and beating of the Afghan men. "This is shameful and disgusting, to say the least. We are going to raise the issue with Iranian officials. We will not allow Afghans to be treated like this!" he said in a Twitter post. |
