visiting such establishments may also scan a QR code on the poster which allows mobile phone users to access the website devoted to the social campaign where one can learn, among other things, how to respond to torture or other forms of ill-treatment. Additionally, the National Headquarters of the Prison Service received from the NMPT printed posters with contact details of the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture and the Commissioner for Human Rights. The Prison Service has placed those materials on informational boards on every prison ward and pre-trial detention centre in Poland. Only by undertaking joint actions can we influence the change in the social attitude towards the problem of inflicting pain and torture in places in which one would normally never expect such things to occur. Priest Ryszard Pieron, “Zwiastun Ewangelicki” no. 12 of 30 June 2019 The representatives of the NMPT promoted the idea of the campaign by means of media channels, giving interviews on the radio and television and preparing press articles which were later published, for instance, in the supplement to the „Rzeczpospolita” daily called Rzecz o prawie. The NMPT wanted the campaign to reach as many people as possible. For this reason, attempts were made to also interest the authorities of the Polish public television as well as representatives of churches in that topic. Regrettably, neither the public television nor the representatives of the Catholic Church expressed any willingness to cooperate in that regard. Yet, what should be emphasized is the role of the representatives of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church who joined the campaign State without torture. They were propagating the idea of torture prevention among their followers during services and in the “Zwiastun Ewangelicki” periodical. It is unacceptable that in the public discourse we can hear statements claiming that foreigners bring diseases. It is unbecoming and dangerous. Therefore, internal education is of such importance – we need to raise the awareness and sensitize officers of particular services who come in contact with foreigners to that issue. Hanna Machińska, Ph.D., deputy CHR Under the campaign in April 2019 a discussion panel Homo Homini Lupus est: Individuals with PTSD in closed detention centres for migrants was held in the Office of the CHR. Invited panelists included: Ala Elczewska – traumatologist, on a daily basis cooperating with the Danish Institute Against Torture ‘Dignity’. In her speech she talked about working with people who experienced torture and the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Conclusions from visiting Polish closed detention centres for migrants were presented by Marcin Kusy – deputy director of the NMPT and Ewa Kownacka – NMPT expert. Maria Książak from the International Humanitarian Initiative described the perspective of non-governmental organizations which provide assistance to torture victims. Col.
