The Issue

Iran is hosting nearly one million Afghan refugees and returns tens of thousands to Afghanistan every month, many of them forcibly.
Dozens of Afghan asylum seekers have been killed in Iran this year. On April 3, at least 25 Afghan refugees were shot, some fatally, by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan. 
Tens of Afghan migrants drowned after being tortured and thrown into a river by Iranian border authorities in early May.

The afghan refugees in Iran is experiencing an apartheid state where the basic human rights has been taken away from them and they are getting treated worse than animals. They need to stay in so called "no go areas", they can't own houses, get education, or health care. For too long has afghan lives been taken unnecessary and without any further consequences for the Iranian government, the world has been standing silent. 
It's time to take a stand, and it's time to take action. 
That's why we afghans are now requesting The United Nations secretary general António Guterres and especially United Nations Human Rights Councils chief Elisabeth Tichy-Fisslberger to investigate the Iranian government, and make a statement with consequences for Iran! 

Let's all together write our names in this petition to create a change and make lives worth living for the afghans in Iran.
