Over 72,000 Afghan families returned from Iran this year, facing potential forced expulsions.

Afghan migrants are returning in large numbers from Iran, with over 72,000 families coming back in the first three months of the year. Many are returning with few possessions, and some claim they were forcibly expelled. The Afghan government and international organizations are working to support returnees and address the situation, including discussions on preventing forced deportations and forming a technical committee to help manage the influx.
