No Admission of Guilt by 8 in Prison Documents Case

All eight defendants in the Central Prisons documents case pleaded not guilty to the charges against them during today's proceedings at the Nicosia Criminal Court. The defense attorneys, with the exception of the 5th defendant, raised the issue of a fair trial, citing a violation of Article 7 of the Criminal Procedure Code regarding the delivery of evidence. All documents and evidence were handed over to the lawyers, except for classified documents and architectural plans of the Prisons, which were not marked as classified. The case was adjourned to March 26 for the defense attorneys to present arguments regarding the issue of a fair trial and the delivery of the material.
