The trial of Greek neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn was interrupted Friday by a noisy incursion by anarchists, prompting an adjournment to June 4.
The anarchists, who are themselves on trial for alleged participation in a far-left extremist group, entered from an adjoining chamber.
They hurled insults at the members of the neo-Nazi party and plastic bottles, which hit some of the journalists covering the trial.
The trial opened in April inside a special courtroom at the high-security Kordyallos prison, with 69 Golden Dawn members and alleged supporters accused of murder, conspiracy to murder or being part of a criminal organisation.
The mayor of the Athens suburb of Kordyallos, where the prison is located, has been pleading for months for the trial to be held elsewhere.
Local officials had previously warned of clashes between Golden Dawn supporters and anti-fascist groups in the area when there is a hearing.
