BREAKING: Cdl. Zen fined by court for not registering humanitarian relief fund

 

Cardinal Joseph Zen was arrested in May under the draconian National Security Law. The Vatican has been criticized for its lack of support for the 90-year-old prelate.

 

HONG KONG (LifeSiteNews) — The emeritus bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen, has been deemed guilty by the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court in Hong Kong of having failed to properly register the now-defunct 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, and fined HK $4,000 ($512). He will not face further penalties for this ruling.

 

Speaking to reporters after hearing the verdict, Zen stated that “I’m just a Hong Kong citizen who strongly supports providing humanitarian assistance.”

 

He expressed the hope that “although I’m a religious figure, I hope this (case) won’t be associated with our freedom of religion. It’s not related.”
