Speaker. the ruthless Soviet Army has massacred thousands of innocent Afghan villagers in the 5 years since the Kremlin directed the invasion of Afghanistan. It is a record so repulsive that many Soviet officers and soldiers have defected and given themselves up rather than continue to obey their orders to slaughter the Afghan people. Afghan refugees crossing into Pakistan recently told of Soviet massacres in three villages near Q(aidhar. Joiathan Broder of the Chicago Tribune has written of their horrifying recollections of one day last fall when Soviet troops killed 360 Afghan civilians. Survivors described in detail how the Soviets entered in tanks. armored personnel carriers and on foot. cutting down old people. women and small children where they stood.
