A Warsaw court judge has suspended the Constitutional Tribunal's president, Bogdan Świeczkowski, and his deputy for one month, prompting protests and heavy police deployment outside the tribunal building. Three people were arrested after attempts to breach the perimeter. President Karol Nawrocki cut short a state visit to Senegal and returned to Warsaw. The tribunal later said the suspension notice was false and that Świeczkowski remains in office, though other reports describe the suspension as in effect. Supporters of the government and opposition Law and Justice party are on opposing sides of the dispute, which is linked to a longer-running conflict over the judiciary.
