Nasir Bagh (Pashto: ناصر باغ) was an Afghan refugee camp located on the edge of Peshawar in North-West Frontier Province (known in Afghanistan as "شمال مغربی سرحدی صوبہ Śhumāl Maġribī Sarhadī Sūbha") province of Pakistan. It opened in 1980 following the outbreak of the Soviet-Afghan War and at one time had a population of 100,000 refugees.^[1] The camp was closed down by UNHCR in May 2002, with most refugees returning to Afghanistan (the Taliban were ousted by then) and the remaining moving to other camps in the region.^[2]
