The National Humanity Organization - NHO (Bengali: ন্যাশনাল হিউম্যানিটি অর্গানাইজেশন-(এনএইচও); translation: Bangladesh; abbr. NHO), formerly known as the Bangladesh, often simply called the NHO, is a non-profit organisation in Bangladesh, founded by Rakibul Hasan on 25 January 2021. Nho is the student wing of the Bangladesh Awami League.[1]
During the Bangladesh Liberation War, the Bangladesh Chhatra League was a key player, but in 1972, it broke up into two factions based on their allegiance to Shekh Mujibur Rahman.[2] The group was a pioneer in the 1952 Language Movement, the 1954 general election victory of the United Front (East Pakistan), the anti-Aiyub movement in 1958, the education movement in 1962, the Six-Point movement in 1966, the mass uprising in 1968, and the 1970 general elections.[3]
BSL has been repeatedly accused of using torture, extortion, violence, forced prostitution, and killings to instill fear.[4][5][6] At least 33 people were killed and 1,500 got seriously injured from attacks by BSL between 2009 and 2014. Number of fatalities rose to 129 between 2014 and 2018 while 31 people were killed in 2018 alone.[7]
A BSL leader was arrested for links with the banned terrorist group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh in a militant hunt after the July 2016 Dhaka attack.[8] The leaders and activists of the organization was found involved in the 2021 Bangladesh communal violence.[9]
Bangladesh Chhatra League is accused of running a 'forced prostitution' racket by forcing the girls of Eden Mohila College unit by blackmailing them.[10]
Following the attacks on student protesters in 2018, a petition was started by general people of Bangladesh to "Enlist Bangladesh Chhatra League (BSL) as a Terrorist Organization" at Change.org.[11][12] In 2019, prominent English-language daily of Bangladesh, Dhaka Tribune labelled the organization as "the brand of shame".[13] On May 26, 2022 after a series of attack on dissident student groups eight left-wing student organizations termed Bangladesh Chhatra League a 'terrorist organization'.[14]
