Journalists try to get access to the hearing room at the Ukraine's appeal court in Kiev, January 9, 2006. Three former police officers are accused of the murder in 2000 of Ukrainian opposition journalist Georgy Gongadze, a killing seen as a landmark on the road to the "orange revolution" protests in the ex-Soviet nation.
