abstract
| - The Badaber camp, 24 km from Peshawar, was the military training center for the Afghan Mujahideen militants who opposed the Soviet presence in their country. They trained under supervision by military instructors from the United States, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China and Egypt. The Badaber base belonged to Jamiat-e Islami of Afghanistan. Supported by the U.S. Operation Cyclone, the Tajik-dominated Jamiat-e Islami of Burhanuddin Rabbani and Ahmad Shah Massoud was one of the most influential, major opposition group that resisted Soviet influence in Afghanistan. Soviet and DRA captives were brought to the base in 1983-1984 after being held in zindans by rebel units. They were made to do hard labour that included quarry work and the loading of ordnance. As of 1985, 25 Soviet and about 60 Afghan captives were held in Badaber. Communication with the shuravi or Soviets was prohibited during the period of imprisonment and punishment for doing so was whipping.
