MURDERERS IN JAIL


Explanation:
all the above translates the sense, but doesn't have the ring of an angry chant!

my first attempt is:

ALL OF THEM OUT!
MURDERERS IN JAIL

I know it doesn't translate both words - but I don't think the 'trial' part is so important - they've been called 'murderers' therefore I think it's clear that the protestors are less interested in the judicial process and more interested in seeing them being punished!

I'm sure another old lefty could come up with a better chant!
