Zan News: The Powerful Women Movement of Afghanistan held a protest rally in response to the shooting of Afghan refugees by Iranian border forces.

In a statement released on Wednesday (October 16), the movement described the killing of Afghan migrants at the Iranian border as a "heart-wrenching" event, stating, "This incident once again highlights the cruelty and violence that overshadow human lives and target innocent individuals."

Members of the movement expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims, calling for a thorough investigation into the incident and accountability from the authorities. They also urged the international community and human rights organizations to take necessary actions to prevent such "atrocities" from happening again.

The statement reads: "The Powerful Women Movement of Afghanistan believes that security and human rights must be prioritized, and all individuals have the right to life and freedom."

The movement also called on governments and international organizations to pay serious attention to this issue and work towards preserving human lives.

The Powerful Women Movement of Afghanistan emphasized its commitment to justice and equality, pledging to continue the fight for the rights of women and all citizens of Afghanistan, hoping that their voices will be heard by the world.

This reaction comes in light of recent reports from the Haalvsh organization regarding the shooting of around 200 Afghan migrants by Iranian border guards. This incident occurred on Sunday night (October 13) in the "Kolgan" area at the Iran-Pakistan border and has sparked widespread reactions.
