Fresh protest as GD trial set to resume at Korydallos jail

The trial of Golden Dawn MPs and members is due to continue Thursday after its recent adjournment.

The resumption of the trial will coincide with a fresh protest by locals and activists who want the case moved from a special courtroom at Korydallos Prison.

Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos has pledged to build a new courtroom at the Athens Appeals Court but told local officials that it would not be ready before September 2015.

The trial’s last session was interrupted when suspected members of an urban guerrilla group, who were being tried in a neighboring room, burst into the court and threw bottles of water at Golden Dawn suspects.
