Police have been deployed amid a stand-off over control of Poland’s top court, as a dispute between the government and senior members of the judiciary intensifies.
The deployment follows the government’s decision to suspend two senior justices. Ministers have also moved to bring criminal charges against the pair, although the supplied information does not detail the alleged offences or identify the judges involved.
The developments have placed the court at the centre of a wider institutional confrontation over its leadership and authority. The police presence marks a further escalation in the dispute, which now involves both the government and law-enforcement authorities.
No further details are provided about the location or scale of the police deployment, the legal process facing the two justices, or the government’s stated grounds for suspending them. The immediate situation remains a stand-off over who controls Poland’s highest court.
