Lawyer for the monks resigns due to lack of access to videos
September 6, 2024
The new lawyer for the monks of the Monastery of Osios Avvakoum, George Stylianou, resigned due to lack of access to crucial videos related to the charges against his clients. He accused the Church of this handling, stating that it hinders his ability to effectively defend his clients. The Synodical Court justified its decision by citing personal data protection concerns. There are now other lawyers representing the monks, and the trial will resume on September 9th.
