The 3 Hoot uprising (Dari: قیام 3 حوت, Qeyam-e 3 Hut) refers to a week of major civil unrest in Kabul, Afghanistan that started on 22 February 1980, occurring two months after the Soviet intervention.[1] It is named after the date and month it started in the Solar Hijri calendar. Protests, rioting and a popular uprising against the Babrak Karmal-led Democratic Republic of Afghanistan government was triggered, by one account due to a series of mass arrests by the regime. Alternatively it has been said that the murder of Lieutenant Alexander Vovk, an instructor of the Soviet Komsomol, by an unknown gunman in the city, which led to the killing of civilians by a group of Soviet officers, led to the uprising.[2]
Thousands of civilians, including leftists and Islamists took part.
