The group's name is RAWA. I found them on the web while trying to find
out more about Afghanistan. the URL is:
http://rawa.fancymarketing.net/index.html
They support democracy, separation of church and state, and human
rights, including especially women's rights, in Afghanastan. They work
non-violently to expose the crimes and abuses of the taliban regime. Just
being a member, in Afghanistan, is punishable by death. Note especially
that they do take donations.
