[QUOTE]Refugees deported
Meanwhile, the Afghan government has voiced concern over the expulsion of Afghan refugees living in Iran, urging its neighbour to halt the deportations due to cold weather and its lack of resources to look after them.
The foreign ministry says it has summoned the top Iranian diplomat in Kabul to express "serious concerns about forced and mass repatriation of Afghan refugees during the freezing months of winter."
Nearly 9,000 Afghans in Iran have been illegally deported in the past two weeks, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
