Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir
Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir (BICS) (Bangla:বাংলাদেশ ইসলামী ছাত্রশিবির) (Bengali for 'Bangladesh Islamic Students Camp') is an Islamic student organization in Bangladesh. It is the de facto student wing of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, a political party.
This organization (Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir (BICS)) was
previously named as 'Islamai Chattra Shangha'. Its leaders and members
allegedly took part in the systematic genocide perpetrated by the
Pakistan Army on Bengali civilians during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.[citation needed]
After Bangladesh became independent on 16 December 1971, the Chhatra
Sangha was banned and its activists went into hiding or fled to Pakistan
to evade prosecution for war crimes. However, after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
in 1975, many leaders of Chhatra Sangha returned to Bangladesh. On 6
February 1977, Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir was formed as a new name
for Chhatra Sangha.
