Times Wire Reports
Prime Minister Donald Tusk dumped his justice minister and three other top justice officials after an outcry over the apparent suicide of a man imprisoned for kidnapping and murder.
Tusk said he accepted the resignation of Justice Minister Zbigniew Cwiakalski a day after the death of inmate Robert Pazik, who was found hanged with a sheet in his cell.
Pazik was the third man believed to have committed suicide out of a group convicted in the 2001 kidnapping and murder of Krzysztof Olewnik.
