Turkish police arrest four undocumented Afghan refugees

Turkey has arrested four undocumented Afghan refugees as part of its ongoing crackdown on illegal migrants.

Turkish media reported on Tuesday, October 8 that the four Afghan refugees were arrested in the city of Erzurum and subsequently transferred to a migrant deportation centre.

According to the reports, these refugees were arrested while being transported in a cargo truck from one location to another.

Additionally, Turkish police arrested two individuals in connection with the case, accusing them of human trafficking.

Previously, Turkish authorities had also reported the arrest of Afghan refugees from various parts of the country.

In recent months, Turkey has intensified its operations to deport undocumented refugees. Some Afghan citizens with legal residence permits have also reported police mistreatment.

The deportation and arrest of Afghan refugees in neighboring countries are not new, but recently, the trend has increased, particularly in Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey.

As regional tensions increase and migration policies tighten, Afghan refugees are facing growing challenges in neighboring countries. The intensified crackdown has raised concerns about protecting their rights and well-being.
