Unknown Individuals Attack Afghan Migrants In Iran

Some Afghan migrants in Iran reported that a group of unknown individuals attacked their workplace in the village of Dorudzan, Marvdasht County, Fars Province, at night with "sticks and knives”.

They told Afghanistan International that at least six Afghan workers were injured in the attack. According to these migrants, the assailants also took their cash and phones.

Images and videos provided to Afghanistan International show several injured people lying on the ground in a field, their bodies bloody and wounded. Ambulances arrived at the scene to transport the injured.

The migrants said that "thugs" attacked them at their workplace on July 11 at night, using weapons, sticks, and knives. They called on the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran to arrest and interrogate the perpetrators of this incident.

The injured migrants are currently hospitalised at the Marvdasht Shiraz hospital. So far, the Iranian authorities have not commented on the incident.

This is not the first time Afghan migrants in Iran have been attacked. According to reports, Afghan migrants have been mistreated and beaten in various parts of Iran for years, with the perpetrators often not being held accountable.
