Iran and Pakistan deported 674 Afghan migrant families between March 8 and March 14, according to data compiled by Amu from Taliban statements.
Iran expelled 564 families through various border crossings, while Pakistan forcibly deported 110 families. The data indicates that 110 families entered Afghanistan through the Spin Boldak crossing, 150 through Pul-e-Abrisham in Nimroz, and 414 via Islam Qala in Herat.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has kept the Torkham crossing closed for 23 consecutive days, leaving thousands stranded, including patients seeking medical treatment. Despite this, both Iran and Pakistan have intensified the forced deportation of Afghan refugees, with police in both countries reportedly arresting dozens of migrants daily.
Some Afghan refugees have also accused authorities in Iran and Pakistan of mistreatment, including beatings and humiliation.
