December 23 in court

If you've been following the news you know that defendant Grigor Voskerchyan was attacked in his cell the morning of the trial, and that by about 10:30 the courtroom had been filled with "agents"-- plain-clothes policemen and the like, and so the families of the seven had trouble getting in. A few members of each family did manage to get in, after Armen Harutyunyan and others yielded their seats, but most remained outside, along with Hrant Bagratyan, Levon Zurabyan, other politicians and friends, assorted monitors, and others. Inside, no business got done; the judge permitted no one (but himself) to speak; and the trial was adjourned till December 27 (presumably, although what the judge actually said was "October 27"). For news in English see a1plus.am or lragir.am. A1plus has video as well. Particularly moving and impressive is the clip of Gor Kloyan's father.
