Twelve Indonesians are standing trial over the gruesome mob slaying of three minority Islamic sect members.
A security cordon has been thrown around the court in Serang, west Java, amid fears of further violence from the defendants' radical supporters.
The male defendants are accused of inciting violence but not murder, for the death of three members of the Ahmadiyah sect in February.
The accusations come despite a graphic video of the slayings being widely distributed on the internet.
Ahmadiyah, unlike mainstream Muslims, do not believe Mohammed was the last prophet and are regarded as heretics and blasphemers by conservatives.
If found guilty the men could face between 12 years in jail and death.
