Mr. Mousavi said in a message on Friday that foreign nationals should follow the rules, just as Iranians are obliged to follow the laws.


He added that no official or institution in the Islamic Republic accepts anti-immigration and considers it a "foreign project".


A 15-year-old Afghan teenager named Sayed Mehdi was seriously injured and broke his neck after being tortured by an Iranian security officer, sources among Afghan migrants in Iran said on Wednesday.


The Iranian police's actions have drawn widespread reactions inside and outside Iran. Many Afghan and Iranian users have compared the treatment of the Afghan teenager to the violence of US police against a black man named George Floyd, which led to his death.


Meanwhile, Sadegh Zibakalam, a professor at Tehran University, compared the extent to which refugees access their human rights in Iran and Western countries.


Mr. Zibakalam says refugees in Western countries have rights; But in Iran, even after years, they do not have legal asylum.


Meanwhile, a group of Iranian and Afghan civil society activists have launched a campaign to "demand a policy on the situation of Afghan migrants in line with human rights."


The campaign, launched under the hashtag Immigrant Rights, raises some of the legal demands of immigrants.


The campaign began on Thursday, August 18, and has collected more than 3,500 signatures in less than two days. The process of collecting signatures will continue until September 18.


The campaign calls on the Iranian government to respond decisively to formal and informal violence against migrants and to establish a monitoring mechanism to prevent similar behavior in the future.

After the news of the torture of a teenage Afghan migrant by the Islamic Republic's security officials became public, Iran's assistant foreign minister says that anti-immigration in this migrant is a foreign project.
