A retired bishop and four others had their appeals dismissed. They were previously found guilty of breaching a law that requires organizations to register. The five individuals, including a singer and former lawmakers, were fined for their involvement with a fund.

This fund had provided financial assistance to people arrested during protests. The organization, now defunct, ceased operations in 2021. Further details about the case and the individuals involved are available.

The defendants were ordered to pay a fine of approximately $512 each. Their convictions were upheld by a court.
