From Times Wire Reports

A Saudi judge postponed the trial of three democratic reform advocates after more than 400 supporters, in a rare show of public dissent, demonstrated for access to the courtroom and then protested loudly once allowed inside.

“Long live reform!” they shouted.

No arrests were made and the judge postponed the session without setting a date for the next hearing.
