Hanna appeared in the State Courts via video link. She was lying on a hospital bed, dressed in a striped shirt. An investigating officer was with Hanna, who was unrepresented.
She was then handed five counts of fraud by false representation involving three alleged victims.
According to the police, Hannah allegedly cheated her victims through promises of investment opportunities and inheritance entitlements.

Third night of violence hits Northern Ireland town
Third night of violence hits Northern Ireland town A masked protester walks away from burning bins on fire, during a third night of anti-immigration demonstrations in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Photo: AFP Jamie Clarke reports Hundreds gathered on the streets of Ballymena in Northern Ireland on Wednesday, facing police armed with riot shields and water cannon on the third night of anti-immigrant demonstrations. The crowds eventually dispersed without a repeat of the chaotic scenes from the previous two nights, when houses and businesses were torched and 32 police officers were injured. The protests erupted in the northern town after the arrest of two teenagers accused of attempting to rape a young girl. The pair appeared on Monday in court, where they asked for a Romanian interpreter. Police have not confirmed the ethnicity of the teenagers, who remain in custody, but areas attacked on Monday and Tuesday included neighbourhoods where Romanian migrants live. Ministers from every party in the province's power-sharing executive strongly condemned "the racially motivated violence witnessed in recent days". Residents had been "terrorised" and police injured, they said in Wednesday's joint statement, urging people to reject the "divisive" agenda being pushed by a "destructive" minority. In response to what they termed "racist thuggery", police deployed riot officers with dogs and have asked forces in England and Wales for help quelling the unrest. People living in Ballymena described "terrifying" scenes in which attackers had targeted "foreigners" over the previous days. Some people fixed signs to their houses indicating they were Filipino residents, or hung up British flags. Six people were arrested on Tuesday during the second night of riots in Ballymena and the surrounding area. (AFP)

Shooting journalists in Trump's America
The video of a Los Angeles police officer shooting a rubber bullet at Channel Nine reporter Lauren Tomasi is as shocking as it is revealing. In her live broadcast, Tomasi is standing to the side of a rank of police in riot gear. She describes the way they have begun firing rubber bullets to disperse protesters angry with US President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigrants. As Tomasi finishes her sentence, the camera pans to the left, just in time to catch the officer raising his gun and firing a non-lethal round into her leg. She said a day later, she is sore, but otherwise OK. Although a more thorough investigation might find mitigating circumstances, from the video evidence, it is hard to dismiss the shot as 'crossfire.' The reporter and cameraman were off to one side of the police, clearly identified and working legitimately. The shooting is also not a one-off. Since the protests against Trump's mass deportations policy began three days ago, a reporter with the LA Daily News and a freelance journalist have been hit with pepper balls and tear gas. British freelance photojournalist Nick Stern also had emergency surgery to remove a three-inch plastic bullet from his leg. In all, the Los Angeles Press Club has documented more than 30 incidents of obstruction and attacks on journalists during the protests. It now seems assaults on the media are no longer confined to war zones or despotic regimes. They are happening in American cities, in broad daylight, often at the hands of those tasked with upholding the law. But violence is only one piece of the picture. In the nearly five months since taking office, the Trump administration has moved to defund public broadcasters, curtail access to information and undermine the credibility of independent media. International services once used to project democratic values and American soft power around the world, such as Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia, have all had their funding cut and been threatened with closure. (The Voice of America website is still operational but hasn't been updated since mid-March, with one headline on the front page reading 'Vatican: Francis stable, out of 'imminent danger' of death'). The Associated Press, one of the most respected and important news agencies in the world, has been restricted from its access to the White House and covering Trump. The reason? It decided to defy Trump's directive to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Even broadcast licenses for major US networks, such as ABC, NBC and CBS, have been publicly threatened – a signal to editors and executives that political loyalty might soon outweigh journalistic integrity. The Committee to Protect Journalists is more used to condemning attacks on the media in places like Russia. However, in April, it issued a report headlined: 'Alarm bells: Trump's first 100 days ramp up fear for the press, democracy.' 🚨Law enforcement in Los Angeles shot non-lethal rounds that struck at least 4 reporters while covering protests that began on Friday and escalated over the weekend following immigration raids. Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard members to the state against local authorities'… — Committee to Protect Journalists (@pressfreedom) June 9, 2025 Why does this matter? The success of American democracy has never depended on unity or even civility. It has depended on scrutiny. A system where power is challenged, not flattered. The First Amendment to the US Constitution – which protects freedom of speech – has long been considered the gold standard for building the institutions of free press and free expression. That only works when journalism is protected – not in theory but in practice. Now, strikingly, the language once reserved for autocracies and failed states has begun to appear in assessments of the US. Civicus, which tracks declining democracies around the world, recently put the US on its watchlist, alongside the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Serbia and Pakistan. The attacks on the journalists in LA are troubling not only for their sake, but for ours. This is about civic architecture. The kind of framework that makes space for disagreement without descending into disorder. Press freedom is not a luxury for peacetime. It is a requirement for peace.

The story was viewable to 16 people, according to his charge sheet. Azim appeared in court represented by a lawyer. The prosecution offered to reduce his charge to one under the Protection From Harassment Act for causing harassment, alarm or distress. However, he did not indicate a plea.
