The court hearings against opposition figures arrested during the protests following the Presidential elections during the night into Monday 20 December are going on behind closed doors.

He says that most are being jailed for up to 15 days (administrative arrest) or being fined about 350 USD.

More than 600 people were arrested during the protests.
