On World Refugee Day, at least 80 civil society organizations, rights groups, and protest movements issued an open letter calling on the international community to urgently address the deteriorating conditions of Afghan refugees in Iran and Pakistan.
The signatories addressed their appeal to key global and regional bodies — including the United Nations Secretary-General, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Human Rights Council, and the governments of Iran and Pakistan — demanding a halt to what they described as unlawful and inhumane deportations.
