Polish police have been deployed to the Constitutional Tribunal following a stand-off regarding control of the country's top court. The intervention comes after the government suspended the head judge and another senior justice.
In addition to the suspensions, the government has moved to bring criminal charges against the two senior justices. Some reports indicate that the deployment and suspensions are part of a long dispute over the politicisation of the Constitutional Tribunal that occurred under the former government.
Further developments are expected as the standoff over the leadership and political control of Poland's highest court continues.
