I am very pleased that Barrister Omar H. Khan has published his new book “Legal Stories of Life”. What 1 find riveting about this book is that it presents suggestions and solutions to the real life legal challenges of the citizens in a simple but useful manner It is indeed important for every citizen to have a good understanding of his or her legal rights. I sincerely hope this book will help the readers, who possibly encounter Similar situations as depicted in the book, to become more aware of their legal rights, including the application of relevant laws. Switzerland is a long-standing development partner of Bangladesh with a strong focus on facilitating people’s socio-economic empowerment in the country.
