In August 2011, a group of 26 human rights defenders and organisations concluded a five-day regional conclave in Hong Kong and formed a unique regional initiative - The Asian Alliance Against Torture and Ill-treatment (AAATI). The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) and the Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims (RCT), Denmark took the lead to organise the foundational meeting of the AAATI, first of its kind in Asia.
