This is how all fair and transparent trials start, right?

Trial opens in Turkey against 221 suspected coup instigators.  The trial has opened in Turkey’s capital against the alleged instigators of last summer’s failed military coup.  A total of 221 people, including 27 ex-generals, went on trial on Ankara’s outskirts Monday at a courthouse built especially to try suspects of the failed July 15 uprising. They face life imprisonment.  The suspects were forced to march along a lane to the courthouse, as pro-government protesters called for the death penalty to be reinstated.  WTOP
