Around 252,000 Afghan refugees returned from Iran and Pakistan during the ongoing solar year, including 135,000 forcibly expelled by Iranian authorities.
According to the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR), currently seven million Afghans are living as migrants in different countries. Three million of these refugees live in Pakistan, as many in Iran and the remaining one million in other nations.
Sometimes they face strange behavior in these countries and most of these refugees who lack legal stay documents are expelled by host countries specially Iran. But still daily a large number of Afghans travel to Iran and Pakistan through illegal routes for work or other purposes.
Pajhwok Afghan News findings show that over 252,000 Afghan refugees have been forcibly expelled from Iran and Pakistan since March 22 this year so far.
