According to the information, Tawsili committed suicide after the Iranian government decided to deport him from the country.

Further details about the victim or the incident haven't been provided. However, several social media users have written on their pages that Tawasoli was 40 years old and originally from the Lal wa Sarjangal district in central Ghor province, Afghanistan.

Following the Taliban’s return to power in 2021, hundreds of thousands of Afghans fled the country. Iran became a major destination for those seeking safety from persecution, repression, and economic hardship. Many of the refugees were former government employees or soldiers. It should be noted that a large number of those Afghan refugees have been expelled from Iran, especially in the last year. Some of them were arrested by the Taliban and sentenced to severe punishments.

Iranian authorities have announced plans to deport as many as two million Afghan refugees by the end of this year.
