In a cavernous UN reception tent on the Afghan-Iranian border, eight men and a young boy sit and drink tea at a white plastic table.
Two of the men had bandages around their heads and another wore a neck brace.
The group of Afghans had been packed into a speeding vehicle on the way to the Iranian capital, Tehran, when they had swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle.
"Our car then flipped," said Nowrous Haji Yakous, 22. "One of my relatives was killed in the accident."
The men were all then arrested by the Iranian police and an hour later were deported from the country because they had no relevant paperwork.
