Immediately after him the defendant George Karaianidis took the floor and read a small text on behalf of all others. The accused of involvement in the terrorist organization Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei stated that "we will not cede our request for not keeping the ID cards of our friends and comrades." They said this was to "criminalize family and friendship relations and to make a database for the police." The statement classified the court as extraordinary, and journalists as antiterrorists’ informants. "They put our personal and our families’ lives at risk. This persistence of theirs discredits themselves," said George Karaianidis, turning to the media.
The head of the judicial council announced its decision on the request for recording the hearings. A letter from the Ministry of Justice to which judge Varela turned last week ruled that the recording can not be provided for financial reasons. She also invoked an article of the Criminal Procedure Code under which the phonogram of hearings is possible but not mandatory.
Defenders responded sharply to the decision, saying it was possible to challenge it. One of them claimed for its withdrawal.
Then the judicial council ruled on the ID cards keeping by prison guards. According to the court, the measure did not violate the principle of publicity of the case.
