Polish Constitutional Tribunal to Review Presidential Judges' Independence Test
RzeczpospolitaLO·PL·about 14 hours ago
The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights has filed a notification with the Polish prosecutor's office accusing former Constitutional Tribunal president Julia Przyłębska of illegally shaping adjudicating panels to ensure favorable rulings in sensitive cases. This escalates the ongoing rule-of-law dispute in Poland, potentially leading to criminal proceedings against a key figure of the previous PiS-aligned judiciary. The outcome is uncertain and will test the current government's commitment to judicial accountability.
