"But but but... it COULD happen!" No, it can't ever happen. It's never happened and it never will.
Really? Here's an example of a trial that resulted in the collapse of a government, the assassination of a central figure, and eventual reversal of the verdicts by a higher court that found serious irregularities in how the trial had been conducted.

But carry on, you clearly know far more about this stuff than I do.
Political instability is what happened in Syria, Thailand, Egypt, etc over the last few years. Contrast this to Canada where the same coalition government broke down and cause several elections over a span of a few years. But an educated perso would never consider Canada to be politically unstable.
All you are doing is spreading FUD. If you were concerned about innocent people's reputations, then you would want all trials to be "in camera" with no information for 5 years.
There isn't even a single example where having an open trial plunged a country into political instability with the likes of what you describe, let alone from a trial in another country. It's pure nonsense.

There is no justification to censor the press for any reason, especially political censorship.
