Poland's constitutional court has struck down sections of a controversial law aimed at uncovering collaboration with the communist-era secret police. The law, which came into force in March, required up to 700,000 people to confess if they were informants.

But the country's highest court has decided that sections of the law violate Poland's constitution. The law broadened existing rules on disclosing collaboration to "people filling a public function". Previously, only senior public servants were required to reveal involvement with the secret police.

The new law would have also covered teachers, academics and journalists, who would have been barred from working for a public company for a decade if they refused to co-operate or lied.

Correspondents say the court's decision will be seen as damaging to Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, whose party had introduced the legislation.

Just curious, will someone check if the judges were vetted? Those Leninisk beards make me suspicious. Thanks.
