Polish President Andrzej Duda turned back from a trip to Senegal as tensions escalated over the suspension of the chief justice of the constitutional court, per NBC News.

Police were deployed to the Supreme Court following the ouster of the head judge, with dozens of protesters demonstrating outside the courthouse, Bloomberg reports.

The political standoff has sparked widespread protests and accusations of a 'coup' as the judiciary's independence is called into question, according to Al Jazeera.
