104 14. Dissemination, media space, and the condition of the courtyard. In connection with this report, the media also covered the working conditions of the policemen on duty in the holding facilities. There were some media reports on the NPM’s visit conducted in 2016 as well; however, their number did not reach ten per site. In order to increase publicity and transparency, and to promptly inform members of the CCB, I publish a news flash on each and every NPM visit on the homepage of the National Preventive Mechanism. It deserves special mention that on June 22, 2016, on the tenth anniversary of the OPCAT, I held a press conference in my Office. Upon the APT’s request, I also joined the campaign organized on the occasion of the tenth anniversary. Within the campaign’s frameworks, during the press conference, I presented the first comprehensive annual report of the NPM, as well as a short film with Hungarian subtitles, made by the APT to commemorate the anniversary. A short report on the lessons of the NPM’s visit to the Juvenile Penitentiary Institution in Tököl was published in English on the APT’s homepage.232 In this short report, I pointed out, inter alia, that the holding unit of the institution had been renovated, in compliance with the relevant international and domestic regulations, in the wake of my visit and my report published thereon. 14.2. Dissemination Educating the professionals of the future, participating in conferences are an efficient means of disseminating knowledge necessary for the prevention of torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment. Staff members of the Department deliver, both regularly and on ad hoc basis, lectures in various domestic higher education institutions. Students majoring in law or psychology at several universities (ELTE, University of Pécs, University of Debrecen, Pázmány Péter University, Semmelweis University, University of Szeged) were lectured on interpreting the concept of places of detention, on the concept and prevention of torture. The non-mandatory course “The Lucifer effect and beyond. How to prevent torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment in closed institutions?” was launched for the second year at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences of the University of Pécs. Gergely Fliegauf regularly delivered lectures and practice lessons at the graduate school of criminology of the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences 232 http://www.apt.ch/opcat10/#26 [January 20, 2017]
