25 Afghan citizens released from Iraqi prisons
The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation announced that 25 Afghan citizens have been released from prisons in Iraq.
According to the ministry, these individuals were jailed for six months in various provinces of Iraq because they did not have legal documents.
The statement mentioned that the released prisoners returned to Afghanistan through Iran on Friday.
Once they arrived at the Nimroz border, officials registered them and referred them to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for assistance.
The release of these Afghan citizens highlights the importance of cooperation between countries in addressing detained individuals’ legal and humanitarian needs.
Their return and referral to the IOM show the efforts to reintegrate and support them as they rebuild their lives.
This event underscores the need for stronger legal protections for migrants to prevent such detentions and ensure their rights are respected.
This comes at a time when Afghanistan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with widespread poverty affecting many across the country.
