2022-09-01
[ToloNews] Amnesia Amnesty International in its latest report, said that Iranian and Ottoman Turkish security forces had frequently pushed back Afghans who try to cross their borders in search of safety, including by unlawfully opening fire on men, women and kiddies.
Even vile and vicious countries get to control their own borders.
"In a new report, They don’t treat us like humans, the organization also documents numerous instances — mostly at the Iranian border — where security forces have shot directly at people as they climbed over walls or crawled under fences. Afghans who do manage to enter Iran

According to Amnesia Amnesty International, the group interviewed 74 Afghans who had been turned away from Iran and Turkey while in Afghanistan, and 48 of them said to have come under fire while attempting to cross the borders.

An Amnesia Amnesty International researcher on South Asian affairs added that Iran and Turkey forcefully deport refugees in addition to persecution.

"The security forces or border guards of the two countries shoot at them to prevent the entrance of more migrants colonists or those who are fleeing Afghanistan out of fear for their life. These shootings, which frequently happen near Iran's border, resulted in deaths and injuries of those trying to enter Iran," Zaman Sultani, the researcher.

some Afghan refugees who have just been deported from Iran and Turkey to the country criticized the behavior of the Ottoman Turkish border guards.

"The border police don't behave appropriately. They treated the families brutally and beat them," said Shayeq Shejayee, an Afghan refugee.

"We faced many problems along the way to Iran," said Muhibullah, another Afghan refugee.

The International Organization for Migration has recently reported that Turkey has deported more than eighteen thousand refugees from the country in the past six months.

Some refugees said that they go to Iran because of economic and security problems, but they also face many problems in this country.
