Several thousand people have rallied in Warsaw to protest against controversial new court reforms they see as a threat to judicial independence.

Police said, around 4,500 people attended the demonstration yesterday in front of the Polish Parliament, which passed legislation that critics say gives the ruling Law and Justice party power over the courts.

The demonstration was organised by the KOD pro-democracy movement, which is critical of the governing conservatives’ policies on courts as well as other areas such as media and education.
