The Supreme Court has suppressed any reporting of the arguments it is hearing today and tomorrow on behalf of 12 of the accused in the so-called "terror raids" centred on the eastern Bay of Plenty four years ago.

Latest legal action comes after the Court of Appeal last month upheld a High Court ruling denying most of the accused a jury trial.

They are due to be tried before a judge alone at Auckland later this month.

The trial are expected to last up to three months.
