Two weeks ago, hundreds of local residents in Herat, Afghanistan, took to the streets to protest against the execution of Afghan migrants in Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian authorities executed seven refugees from that country two days ago, as confirmed by their relatives in the western province of Herat, most is hanged on charges of drug trafficking, but without any proof or any legal aid in summary trials lasting minutes and in which very often are not even allowed the defendant to take the floor. Shafai Mohammad, a 21-year-old phoned her family two days ago to say his last words as his death warrant had been approved by an Iranian court. Another resident of the western Afghan province, bordering Iran, Haji Ghulam Jelani, said his brother, accused of similar offenses for drug trafficking, was executed in the same prison and was buried somewhere in Iran. Iranian authorities executed seven Afghan immigrants early Monday, the Iranian government, so concerned for the welfare of Palestinians, not the Afghan government has provided details on the implementation of its citizens, told Pajhwok the provincial governor's spokesman. Zarif's brother, one of many relatives of victims, was executed in Iran for alleged drug trafficking, and said his brother had no attorney and that the Iranian authorities after the execution added insult to tragedy. "The Iranians asked me U $ S 100 to give me the body of my brother," he told RFE / RL (Radio Free Afghanistan), "so I borrowed the U $ S 100 and I got handed over the body."
In Ghori, another district in neighboring Afghanistan to Iran, Mohammad Naseem Rahmani tells a similar story. Rahmani, said her brother was buried Abdulqaium Ghori this week after Iran executed it and returned the body to his family. Said Abdulqaium was convicted of drug trafficking and could not visit him in prison because he lacked documents. "Yes, my brother was 33, his name was Abdulqaium and had four children," said Rahmani. "After his arrest, there was nobody to help him on defense and finally got a death sentence not to keep him in jail." It is unclear
how many Afghans have been imprisoned in Iran or how many are sentenced to death. Last month, a delegation of Afghan lawmakers returned from Iran with the news that 5630 Afghans were imprisoned there, more than half of them, 3000, with death sentences.
