Communist Students (CS) is group of about 150 young activists that came together to form the group some three years ago. The story starts with the start of the second intifada in Palestine in Sep. 2000 when a group of young members form the Lebanese Communist Party (LCP) wrote and distributed a circular that spoke on behalf of Communist Students.
