Anisul said, he assured the UN rights commissioner that if she makes any proposal regarding giving training to law enforcing agencies personnel on human rights, government will surely consider that.
"I have told the UN Human Rights High Commissioner the same thing that I told earlier to the journalists about the Digital Security Act. We've formed a committee with Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Secretary as its President.
