Auckland High Court denies Golriz Ghahraman's appeal to dismiss shoplifting convictions.
Former Green MP Golriz Ghahraman's appeal to have her shoplifting convictions dismissed has been denied by the Auckland High Court.

The ruling affects her prospects of resuming her legal career after leaving Parliament.
