Hundreds are being compelled to return to Afghanistan as Tehran tightens controls on immigration.

Tehran has largely been lenient in direction of members of this group. However lately, Iranians appear to have grown bored with internet hosting them – and sentiment in direction of overseas nationals has hardened.
The Iranian authorities has responded by expelling undocumented folks. These being compelled out don’t have any selection however to return to the nation they escaped from.
Whereas the Taliban authorities is welcoming returning Afghans, what sort of life awaits them, and what can the worldwide group do to assist?
