No Refuge Here

You have to hand it to the mullahs; they're a real group of humanitarians.

The United Nations refugee chief says thousands of Afghans may have been forced to return to Afghanistan because of Iran's policies.

The UN High Commission for Refugees has been increasingly concerned that Iranian officials are pressurizing Afghan refugees to go home.

There have been radio campaigns informing them that they have to leave.

Rudd Lubbers told the BBC that such actions went too far, saying thousands may have been forcibly returned.

I'd much rather be in Afghanistan than Iran right about now, but that's not the point.
