About Us

Who was Fayaz?

Ahmad Fayaz was a student of Pharmacy faculty of Kabul University, an active member of the underground Union of students and professors Esteqlaltalab. He was involved in student’s protest strikes and distributing of propaganda material against the Soviet invasion, written by the professors within the Union. He was 19 years old, when he along with some members of his family were arrested on 14 February 1982 because the intelligence department of the puppet regime, found some pamphlets in his room, prepared to be distributed among fellow students on the occasion of celebration of the anniversary of uprising of the people of Kabul against the Soviet invaders and their puppet regime (22-02-1981). Ahmad Fayaz was killed under torture in interrogation directorate at Sedarat, a department of the General Directorate of States Security (KHAD). We gave this foundation his name, because, Ahmad Fayaz is a clear example of civilian victims of the brutality of the DRA regime and its Russian masters against critic of even a young, unarmed civilian , who only used his fundamental right to express his meaning secretly to other students.
