Avakoum monks’ trial postponed yet again

The court case involving Avakoum monastery monks Nektarios and Porfyrios was postponed once again on Friday and is now scheduled for May 27 at 9am.

The adjournment followed a request by the prosecution for additional time to allow both sides to examine the possibility of reducing the indictment and agreeing on certain admissible facts.

The defence also requested an amendment to the restrictive measures imposed on the two men, asking that they be required to sign at a police station once a week instead of twice.
