WARSAW, Poland - Protesters in Poland have held demonstrations across the country to express their solidarity with judges who say they are facing increased political pressure and intimidation from the right-wing government. The largest protest Sunday took place in the capital, Warsaw, in front of the Justice Ministry. Polish media reported that protests were also held in a total of 105 cities and towns, including Gdansk and Krakow. Among the protesters was one of the judges whose case was a catalyst for Sunday’s protests. We cannot succumb to pressure because without free courts there are no free citizens and law-abiding Poland.”
