Iranian Forces Kill 260 Afghan Migrants

A tragic incident involving Iranian border guards has reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 260 Afghan migrants who were ambushed while attempting to cross into Iran. Survivors claim that the group, consisting of around 300 individuals, was targeted with gunfire and RPG attacks near the Kulgon border area on October 13. Human rights organization Haalvsh has condemned the actions as a 'massacre' and released videos purportedly showing the aftermath. Afghan politicians and activists have called for a thorough investigation and accountability from Iranian authorities, emphasizing the dire circumstances that are forcing Afghans to flee their country due to Taliban rule. The incident has raised serious concerns about the treatment of Afghan refugees in Iran, with reports of systemic violence and human rights violations emerging. Neither Iranian nor Taliban officials have yet responded to these serious allegations.
