The fact that the courts cannot accommodate an organization like amnesty international should be be concerning.
It's appropriate for the court to take steps necessary to ensure not just a fair trial, but the apparence of a fair trial.
If you fail to ensure the apparence of a fair trial, you undermine the court.
It saddens me that the court can't ensure a trial that is beyond criticism, especially in a case this controversial.
It gives serious credibility to people claiming this is a sham trial. Because a fair trial should go out of it's way to also appear fair.
