The six defendants arrested and their three comrades who are at liberty under restrictions took their seats in the dock. Minutes later, the members of the judicial council and the prosecutor sat at the desk. The only ones missing were the lawyers of the defendants. Judge Varela asked where they were and one of the police officers answered informing her that they were at the entrance and refused to enter. However, the defenders took their seats several minutes later. One of them informed the court that their delay was symbolic and a sign of solidarity with the defendants' request for not keeping their relatives and friends’ ID cards by prison guards.
