The Afghan official, Shah Mardanqol, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry to receive Iran's official protest on the media hype as well as the murder of a young Iranian girl by an Afghan refugee in the central province of Yazd.
Head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry's Afghanistan Headquarters Mohsen Pak-Ayin condemned the murder of the young Iranian girl and said Afghan refugees in Iran needed to abide by the law.
He urged the Kabul government and the Afghan Embassy in Tehran to fulfill their responsibilities in briefing the Afghan nationals on the issue.
Pak-Ayin also criticized remarks by certain local Afghan voices over Iran's judicial measures against such crimes.
“Three million Afghans are peacefully living in Iran but Iranian officials deal with criminal foreign nationals according to the law,” he added.
The Afghan official expressed regret over the incident.
