On 10 December 2009, Odhikar and New Age, an English language national daily newspaper, jointly organised a roundtable on “Extra-judicial Killings and the Rule of Law” at Spectra Convention Centre in Dhaka on the occasion of International Human Rights Day. The red-letter day was observed under the project ‘Human Rights Defenders Training and Advocacy Programme in Bangladesh’, supported by RCT, Denmark.
Odhikar, with its grassroots level human rights defenders, also organised rallies in Tangail, Sirajgonj, Rajshahi, Kushtia, Jessore and Satkhira to mark International Human Rights Day.
