Independent Students Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Independent Students Union (Polish: Niezależne Zrzeszenie Studentów, NZS) is a Polish student society, created on 22 September 1980 in the aftermath of the Gdańsk Agreement and the anti-government strike actions. It supported the Solidarity and together with it and other similar organizations it was delegalized after the martial law in Poland, 1981. Some of its activists were arrested, some others organized an underground NSZ.
After the fall of communism in 1989 the organization was recreated, and it's focus changed from political to cultural, although it still stands by its origins as seen by NZS activists support for the Orange Revolution in Ukraine.
