To the Editor:

We read with great interest Michael Barry’s article, “Afghanistan—Another Cambodia?” [August 1982]. Indeed, the article describes the exact situation which prevails under the Communist regime in Afghanistan, and which continues unchanged to this day. Three members of our organization, myself, Dr. Fahrang, professor at Kabul University, and Dr. Hokoki, former judge of the supreme court, underwent barbaric tortures at the hands of the Communists similar to those Mr. Barry describes.

We admire your attempt to disclose Soviet crimes in our country.
