The U.N. is now willing to speak the truth about the terrible Soviet atrocities being directed against the Afghani people. This new U.N. frankness in dealing with the Soviets is encouraging. I hope it continues. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights recently reported that Soviet activities in Afghanistan included mass bombings. killings of civilians. mutilations. routine torture. the forced evacuation of rural areas. the imprisonment without trial of tens of thousands of political prisoners. and religious intolerance. While the Afghani Government refused to allow the author of the report to enter Afghanistan. he was able to interview Afgh. ani refugees who had fled to Pakistan. Soviet brutality is so extensive in Afghani.
