Teachers and students of Dhaka University (DU) are set to observe the 'University Black Day' today, marking the atrocities by law enforcement agencies in 2007.
Scores of students were wounded in police action following which four senior teachers and seven students were taken into custody and thrown behind bars.

The programmes included wearing of black badges and holding of discussions. No class will be held from 11:00am to 1:00pm.
