    [06] November 17th trial continues without Savvas Xiros

    The November 17th terrorist trial is continuing without defendant Savvas Xiros, who walked out yesterday, after the court rejected his motion for his pre-trial confession to be disregarded. Earlier today, it was decided that he would not be forced to attend.

The court's ruling on the motion is expected tomorrow.
