All four were fined RM1,950, in default two months’ jail. The court allowed them to settle their fines by Wednesday afternoon.
The two others were former PKR secretariat staff Muhammad Adib Ishar and Batu Burok Assemblyman Syed Azman Syed Ahmad.
Sessions Court judge Mat Ghani Abdullah handed down the sentence after they pleaded guilty on an alternative charge.
The alternative charge was under Section 9(1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA).
Previously, all four accused claimed trial under Section 9(1) and the main charge under Section 15(3) of the PAA for failing to obtain the consent of Padang Merbok’s owner, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur, to use the field for the Blackout 505 rally.
The RM1,950 fine means that Rafizi, Loke and Syed Azman would remain as MPs and state assemblyman.
Under Article 54 of the Federal Constitution, those fined RM2,000 or jailed one year would be stripped of their status as lawmakers.
Twelve witnesses were called to testify during the trial.
Gobind Singh, Saiful Izham Rahim, Eric Paulsen and Ariff Azami Hussien represented the four accused.
Deputy public prosecutor Nurul Huda Mohd Noor appeared for the prosecution.
Gobind said the trial was previously stayed pending a constitutional challenge by Seri Setia Assemblyman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
He faced a similar charge under Section 9(1).
“The charges of the four accused were restored when the Court of Appeal declared the section as constitutional,” he said.
In the case of Nik Nazmi, he succeeded in challenging the constitutionality of Section 9(1) and 9(5) at the Court of Appeal.
However, another decision by the appeals court in the case of PKR Johor executive secretary R Yuneswaran contradicted the Nik Nazmi case. The court declared the sections valid.
Yuneswaran was fined RM6,000 by the appeals court for organising a Blackout 505 rally in Johor, on May 15, 2013.
