Afghan Migrant Amir Taha Killed by Two Iranian Citizens in Tehran

Afghan migrant Amir Taha was brutally killed by two Iranian citizens in Tehran, sparking outrage and demands for justice from Afghananistan and his family.

The Taliban embassy in Tehran has confirmed that Amir Taha Rezaei, an Afghan migrant, was brutally murdered by two Iranian citizens under disturbing and violent circumstances. His body was discovered in Absard, a town in Damavand, Iran, after he had been reported missing for several days by his family and acquaintances.

According to a statement released on Saturday, July 19, the Taliban embassy has officially shared the details of the murder case with Iranian authorities and initiated formal discussions on the matter. Afghan representatives have demanded a thorough investigation and requested that the Iranian government prosecute those responsible under the full extent of the law.

The embassy emphasized that it raised the issue directly with Amir Taha Rezaei’s family during a formal meeting, where officials expressed their condolences and pledged to seek justice. The family reportedly shared concerns about the treatment of Afghan migrants and called on both governments to address security and human rights issues more seriously.

Prior to his body being found, Amir Taha had gone missing under unknown circumstances, prompting fears from his family that something had gone wrong. His sudden disappearance and the manner of his death have intensified fears within the Afghan migrant community in Iran, which has long reported issues of discrimination and vulnerability.

In the past month alone, three Afghan migrants—including a woman named Kobra Rezaei—have been killed in separate incidents across Iran. These recurring cases have sparked renewed calls for stronger protective measures and highlighted the growing risks faced by Afghan nationals living in the country.

The Taliban administration has stated it will continue to monitor the investigation closely and maintain diplomatic pressure on Iran to deliver swift and fair justice. Officials have urged Iranian authorities to uphold the rights of Afghan citizens and prevent similar acts of violence in the future through legal and preventive measures.
