The problems for Afghan refugees in Iran are so widespread that simple gestures like this are useless (let's face it, it's just for making yourselves feel better).
Right now kids born to Afghan refugees can't become Iranian citizens. That must change. A lot of these kids have never stepped foot inside Afghanistan, but they're being deported after having lived in Iran for decades. Afghans are also banned in many parks and completely banned from 9 provinces. Every year during "sizdah be dar" Isfahan bans Afghans from its parks (I mention Isfahan because I spent a lot of time there when I was in Iran). Other provinces do the same and cite the high amount of crime committed by Afghan refugees. People also treat them like garbage, we all know that. An Afghan could be born in Iran and live in Iran all his/her life, but people still look at him and talk to him as an "afghani." He could get deported in a blink of an eye.
btw, most people don't know this, but Afghan refugees have to pay for all primary level education, while Iranian citizens do not. This puts excessive burden on families that can't even pay for food. So a lot of the time their kids remain uneducated or they end up having to live in ghettos so they can send their kids to school.
Iran either needs to kick everybody out COMPLETELY and NEVER allow a single refugee in, or treat them like human beings. We speak one language and for those of you that care about religion, they also follow your exact sect. Yet, they are treated like absolute garbage.
Simple videos do nothing to heal these wounds. As I said, every single Afghan child born in Iran must be given citizenship. They must be allowed to go to school for free like every other child. Their parents must be educated so they can get jobs and stand on their feet. If these steps aren't taken, then why accept them in? Deport 100% of refugees immediately instead of dancing around the bush. Either do it correctly or don't do it at all. I understand that it's their choice to come to Iran, but just b/c they make this choice it doesn't mean Iran should act like a savage 3rd world country in dealing with them.
