The leader of Pakistan’s Pashtun Protection Movement on Thursday strongly condemned the “arrest and oppression” of Afghan refugees in Iran in a message delivered in Persian, calling it “illegal and against human principles.”
This message was posted on Pashteen’s X account in response to the violence by a police officer against a deaf Afghan teenager in Iran.
This week, an Iranian law enforcement officer in Damavand of Tehran restrained a 15-year-old Afghan teenager while another officer placed his knee on the boy’s neck.
