Adam Bodnar met with the attacked doctoral student from Nigeria

Date:

- One may have the impression that sometimes things happen in silence in Poland, and there is no discussion about racist attacks. Representatives of the public institutions responsible for safety and security relate to acts of hooliganism only. I disagree with their approach and I am pleased there are other institutions which share my opinion. It is good that the attack was condemned by the authorities of the University of Warsaw and by Warsaw Mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, said Adam Bodnar in a meeting with the Nigerian citizen, a PhD student at the University of Warsaw, who had been attacked in a street in Warsaw .
