This week, at the order of vice-minister Zieliński, the guidebook Hate Crimes was withdrawn from use. Polish policemen learned from it and trained the methods of preventing hate motivated offenses. In this guidebook, phalange – the sign of the Polish ONR [Nationalist Radical Camp] was also described as the neo-fascist symbol. And it was the reason of withdrawal of the training set, because – as press section of the Ministry of the Interior justifies it – “it fosters shaping of reluctant attitudes toward certain citizens”.

Paula Sawicka – the Head of our Program Board spoke about the danger resulting from this decision, about the activity of the Ministry of the Interior and on ONR itself in Agata Kowalska’s program on Radio Tok Fm.
