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.
