All countries should stop forcibly sending vulnerable Afghan nationals back to their homeland under the Taliban regime, the UN’s mission in Afghanistan said today, as it warned about the threat of arrest, torture and abuse these citizens face.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (Unama) said it had documented evidence that forced returnees, deported against their will in large numbers by countries including Iran and Pakistan in recent months, have been targeted by the Taliban regime and face serious human rights violations.
