In all cases, both the defendants and the prosecutors appealed against the rulings. The Court of Appeal upheld the verdicts on 2 April 2020 for the first four appellants, on 28 April for the next four, and on 30 April for the rest. IH, who was prosecuted along with them, was released based on an interlocutory judgment on 25 November 2019 because he was still a minor.
