Police deployed during stand-off over control of top Poland court

The escalation came after the government suspended two senior justices and moved to bring criminal charges against them.

Riot police have been deployed at Poland's Constitutional Court amid an escalating stand-off between the government and the court's top judges.

The row pits the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk against his predecessors from the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS).

The police intervention came after Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said he had requested stripping the court's President Bogdan Święczkowski and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański of their immunity from prosecution to bring criminal charges against them.

Tusk has vowed to depoliticise the judiciary, and on Friday defended the move as PiS supporters gathered outside the court premises in Warsaw in protest.

Don't though if this is the right place for this but something is going down in Poland. Sounds pretty serious seeing as Poland neighbours Russia and Ukraine.
