In December 2018, the Commissioner for Human Rights together with the Council of Europe launched the social campaign entitled State without torture6. Within the action, the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture seeks to make the society aware of the problem of torture and conduct training courses and lectures on the issue. The first training which launched a series of meetings with university students was held on 8 December 2018 for students of the Jagiellonian University. It concerned the role of the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture and the Commissioner for Human Rights in the prevention of torture in Poland - the practical and legal aspects. The NMPT representatives spoke to students from the Comparative Law scientific group of the SWPS University in Warsaw about how not to become a victim of torture. 6 16 Campaign partners are: Council of Europe, Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights / Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Association for the Prevention of Torture in Geneva (APT), Kantar Millward Brown, Supreme Bar Council, National Chamber of Legal Advisers.
