All appeals filed by the defendant and prosecutor are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. As to the violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act (hereinafter “the Assembly and Demonstration Act”) on June 21, 2013 and June 26, 2013, each assembly held on the above day does not constitute a peaceful candlelight culture, and does not constitute an assembly subject to the duty to report under the Assembly and Demonstration Act.
