Now-defrocked Catholic priest Richard Daschbach, center, is presented a cake during his 84th birthday in Dili, East Timor, on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2021. While he has his critics, Daschbach's support appears deep and widespread, extending beyond Oecusse to the capital, Dili. It includes members of the political elite, including former President Xanana Gusmao  _ himself an independence hero _  who attended the opening of the trial in February, and this birthday celebration.
