Araz News: The police forces have started a new wave of arrests and harassment against Afghan immigrants. They have arrested many Afghan illegal-immigrants in different cities in Iran, including Mashhad, Varamin, Isfahan and Shiraz and in many different parts of South Azerbaijan (Sofiyan, Bostanabad, Maki and Khoy).

More than 250 people were arrested only in Golshahr. More than 90% of them are active workers, which are among the poorest and most vulnerable classes of the society, HRANA reported.

According to reliable sources, one of the arrests is a father who had lost his son in Syria.
