Bolsheviks Disperse Courts in Petrograd and Plan Revolutionary Tribunals
News from Patrograd reports the Bolshevik government dispersing the highest Russian court and all Petrograd courts, except county judges who were arrested. Revolutionary courts will be established nationwide on December 20 to combat counter revolution, brigandage, sabotage and speculation, with judges chosen by soldiers and workers delegates. Also noted is Leon Trotsky dismissing all Russian ambassadors and staff who refused Bolshevik order to recognize the Karansky government. The constituent assembly is expected to open with over four hundred members, while estimates show 123 delegates elected so far, amid efforts to delay the assembly's organization.
