The victims, who had crossed into Iran in search of work, were met with brutal violence, as Iranian border guards used heavy weaponry, including RPGs, to attack the group.

Despite their critical conditions, reports indicate that Iranian security forces have been actively suppressing information about the incident. Hospital staff and the injured have allegedly been threatened and instructed to remain silent about the true nature of the migrants&#8217; injuries. &#8220;No one must know that these are victims of the border shooting,&#8221; authorities have reportedly demanded.

Authorities have consistently demonized Afghan migrants, often using them as convenient scapegoats for Iran&#8217;s social and economic problems. Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/ufuqnews.com\/archives\/244657\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abolfazl Fateh<\/a>, head of the Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Research Institute under the Iranian regime, irresponsibly linked Afghan migrants to the spread of diseases, further fueling prejudice against an already marginalized community.

Statements from Tehran\u2019s governor also suggest harsh measures against those deemed &#8220;illegal,&#8221; including barring them from accessing basic services. This has led to a surge in deportations, often conducted under harsh and humiliating conditions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite the Iranian regime&#8217;s efforts to cast Afghan migrants as a threat, the truth is that these individuals have been instrumental to Iran\u2019s economy, taking on some of the most demanding and underpaid jobs.

Countless stories have emerged of harassment, physical abuse, and illegal deportations. Many of those expelled report being detained in overcrowded camps, where they are denied food, water, and medical care.
