Mehran Fatemi, the governor of Yazd, Iran, has announced that the expulsion of Afghan citizens from this province is unprecedented.

Fatemi stated that since 2023, about 60,000 Afghans have been expelled from Yazd.

According to him, "this level of expulsion is unprecedented”.

In an interview with Mehr News Agency, the governor of Yazd said that the organisation of Afghans in Iran is contingent on controlling Iran's borders.

Iranian officials have repeatedly emphasised on their determination to continue the plan to deport Afghan migrants from Iran.

Iran detains and deports thousands of people from various parts of Iran to Afghanistan every week.

Despite requests from human rights organisations to stop the deportation process of Afghan migrants, Tehran continues to arrest, deport, and exert pressure on Afghan migrants.
