The Trial of the Six (Greek: Δίκη των Έξ(ι), Díki ton Éx(i)) or the Execution of the Six was the trial for treason, in late 1922, of the Anti-Venizelist officials held responsible for the Greek military defeat in Asia Minor. The trial culminated in the death sentence and execution of six of the nine defendants.
