Afghan Refugees In Iran Marked Yalda Celebration
Two young Afghan refugee girls are playing the guitar and violin next to an Afghan flag during the Yalda celebration, the day after Yalda night, at an Afghan traditional restaurant in the Shahr-e-Rey neighborhood in southern Tehran, Iran, on December 22, 2023. While the first-ever Yalda Night ceremony under Taliban rule was held in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province in northern Afghanistan, without the presence of women, a group of Afghan refugee women are celebrating Yalda in the Shahr-e-Rey neighborhood in southern Tehran.
