Polish police have been deployed outside the country’s top court after demonstrators gathered to protest the suspension of its head judge.
Police said on Friday they entered the premises of the Constitutional Tribunal after incidents outside the court, including objects being thrown at police.
Protesters descended on the Warsaw court after it announced on Friday that its head, Bogdan Swieczkowski, had been suspended.
News of Swieczkowski’s suspension brought crowds of PiS supporters to the gates of the Constitutional Tribunal. Police said they detained three people after some in the crowd launched “dangerous projectiles”.
