Very sad state of affairs, I can't think of a single reason for a Lankan to illegally enter Iran... Its not much better than SLK.

This is a pretty bad route for EU as the Iranian security could shoot them mistaking them for drug traffickers

The courage of these refugees crossing through deserts,rivers,forests,and even snowy mountainsmakes the abilities of Special Forces not so special.
