The official of the Islamic Republic: Anti-immigration in Iran is a foreigner project
Taliban Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi said in a statement that biased groups were trying to exploit such events to undermine positive and good relations between the two countries.
Balkhi said in a statement on Friday that the ill-treatment of Iranian police had raised concerns.
The Taliban's foreign ministry has stressed that Iran should not allow violations of the rights of Afghan citizens living in the country to "hurt public sentiments".
Earlier, the Taliban's Ministry of Refugees issued a statement calling on Iran to treat Afghan refugees in accordance with the "principles of migration and good neighborliness."
After the news of the torture of a teenager by Afghan security officials became public, Iran's assistant foreign minister said that anti-immigration in the country is a foreign project.
Earlier, sources among Afghan migrants living in Iran said on Wednesday that a 15-year-old Afghan teenager named Sayed Mehdi was seriously injured and broke his neck after being tortured by an Iranian security officer.
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.
The Taliban's foreign ministry has called on the Islamic Republic to punish the perpetrators of the incident.
