Iranian forces accused of throwing 57 Afghans into river, killing at least 23 of them
[KhaamaPress] Some of the Afghan migrants colonists have accused the Iranian forces, border guards, of throwing 57 people into a river which resulting in to the killing of at least 23 of them, it has been reported.

Certain of the survivors of the incident have claimed that the Iranian border guards initially arrested the migrants colonists from a bordering region and later threw them in to Harirod River.

According to reports, the incident took place earlier last week as the migrants colonists were on their way to Iran, apparently for work opportunities.

The local officials in Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
have not commented regarding the involvement of the Iranian border guards in the incident but confirm that the public health authorities have received the dead bodies of several people who had apparently drowned.

Meanwhile,
...back at the hoedown, the fiddler suddenly struck a sour note. The dancing stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Bob...
the acting minister of foreign affairs Mohammad Haneef Atmar has reportedly appointed a delegation to thoroughly investigate the incident.

This is not the first reports emerge regarding the alleged torture and killing of Afghan migrants colonists by the Iranian border guards but numerous such incidents have been reported during the past several years.
