It is not hard to compile a long list of barbarous crimes the Soviets and their Afghan collaborators have committed against the innocent Afghan population. The 13page annex of Dr. Ermacoras findings that the United Nations wrongly refused to make part of the official report is even more revealing. The following heinous crimes are frequently being committed by the Soviets in Afghanistan. Incidentially. these are the same Soviets who are proclaiming a policy "glasnost" or openness. Apparently this means "open season" on Afghans: The Soviets are engaged in a scorchedearth policy designed to force Afghans to become refugees. The Soviets have purposely burned villages and crops. They have destroyed irrigation systems. schools. and mosques.
