In rented rooms in a remote village in eastern Iran, Bamin Bahmani and her husband clutch their two small sons, bags all packed, and wait for a dreaded knock on the door. Every day tens of thousands of Afghans like them are rounded up and sent back to the worst place in the world for a woman.
More than 1.1 million Afghans have been deported from Iran this year, half of these in the past five weeks, making it one of the largest forced expulsions in modern history. The Iranian authorities say they will not stop until they have expelled all undocumented Afghans, an estimated four million.
