An Afghan refugee family in Iran claims that their child was beaten and burned with hot oil by an Iranian family:
Report from Ahmed Sohail Perto
The family of the child told Afgnews24 that after a verbal argument with an Iranian family, their son was burned by that family and is now facing threats from them.
The family added that Iranian security agencies have not yet addressed their son’s case.
This child was burned by an Iranian family in Tehran.
The family told Amu TV that their son was first beaten by an Iranian family and then burned with hot oil.
The child’s mother said: “There was a commotion outside. I went to the door and saw an Iranian man beating his younger brother. My son told him not to hit his brother. Then they grabbed him and brought him inside. The Iranian followed him into the house, insulted him, and beat both of them. He grabbed my son by the throat and strangled him, leaving marks on his neck. He then threw him towards the hot oil, and the oil splashed on his face, burning it completely. Despite this, they continued to beat him and then left.”
The family has bitter stories of life in Tehran.
The victim’s mother said: “We are humiliated a lot, insulted. I’m too scared to leave the house. I can’t even take my children outside. For two nights, I had to hide in someone else’s house.”
At the same time, Afghan refugees in Iran report disheartening experiences with how Iranian citizens treat migrants.
