NewsIran expels 1.5 million Afghans amid accusations of espionage for Israel. More than 1.5 million Afghans have been expelled from Iran this year, with a surge following the country’s brief conflict with Israel in June.
Among those deported, some have faced accusations of espionage, allegedly collaborating with Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.
Ali Ahmad, an Afghan national, lifted his shirt to reveal severe bruising he says he sustained while in Iranian custody.
“They used hoses, water pipes and wooden boards to beat me. They treated us like animals,” he told reporters earlier this month from Islam Qala, a key border crossing point between the two countries. His name has been changed for protection.
Iran claims to host over four million undocumented Afghans, many of whom fled decades of war.
In March, Tehran issued a deadline requiring undocumented Afghans to leave by July. However, after the 12-day flare-up with Israel, mass deportations began, peaking at around 50,000 daily returns in early July, according to the United Nations.
Ali Ahmad said authorities seized his phone and money, leaving him stranded. He had lived in Iran for two and a half years.
Iranian authorities and media have increasingly associated Afghans with espionage activities. Some have been arrested and accused of working with Mossad.
