Iran is sending soldiers to fight inside Syria. But it turns out that some of those soldiers aren't Iranian - they are Afghan refugees, enticed into joining by the promise of money, jobs and passports.
Afghan-Iranian photographer Mujtaba Jalili had to escape Iran after being arrested for reporting on the growing number of funerals of those Afghan refugee soldiers. He himself is now in a refugee camp in the Netherlands. He has been speaking to Newsday's Tom Hagler.
