Courtroom

Lawyers representing Greece's extreme right-wing Golden Dawn party are demanding a change of venue for security reasons in the trial of party leaders and members, after their clients were threatened by suspected members of a leftist group being led to another courtroom for a separate trial.

The ultranationalist Golden Dawn trial taking place at a makeshift court at Korydallos prison was filled with tension on Friday as unknown assailants threw water on journalists while calling out threatening slogans. A number of people were concerned that there would be a security issue.
