Trial for the Eye: Photos of the victims were placed on the benches by their relatives – The reaction of the president

by

Annoyed, the president told the relatives of the victims who had placed the photos that “I have knowledge and awareness of what we are trying to do”

He saw the photos of victims of the deadly fire in Mati, leaning on seats in the audience court who is trying the defendants for the tragedy, when he took the bench for the start of today’s trial.

Annoyed, the president told the relatives of the victims who had placed the photos that “I have knowledge and awareness of what we are judging” and asked “I want to know why you have placed photos of the victims on the benches?”.

The answer was quickly given by an advocate from the side of Political Education, who said: “I’m sorry Madam President, because that’s what they want. Is it forbidden?’, at the same time as someone in the audience was heard to say ‘to crack the stones’.

The president asked if the move is intended to make the atmosphere of the trial charged, with a person present in the public seats answering her that “for 4.5 years the atmosphere has been charged. Madam president, we respect your court, please respect our pain”, while another asked her if she considers the placement of the photos offensive.

Chairman: No

Audience: Then let us show our pain.

Chairman: I don’t want anyone to have any anxiety that the court has not understood.

Audience: It will be seen at the end.

Chairman: I don’t want to hear “it will be seen”. We will judge in an atmosphere of calmness.

Although the defense requested that the photos be withdrawn, the president did not elaborate further on the relatives’ motion: “Let’s leave it at that, Mr. Advocate,” she said in closing the discussion.
