A study by TOLOnews has found that human smugglers are operating openly in southwestern Nimroz province – which shares a border with Iran – and are smuggling dozens of migrants on a daily basis into Iran.
According to the study, no one stops these convoys of pickup trucks, loaded with migrants, who are driven to the border at night.
These migrants can spend days at the border town of Zaranj while they wait to be smuggled into Iran, TOLOnews' Abdullah Hamim who visited Nimroz reported.
According to him, there are several security check posts on the way to the bordering regions, but dozens of migrants, packed in several vehicles, are not stopped by these security officers.
