Survivors of Christchurch attacks react to sentencing
Al JazeeraSurvivors and relatives of victims of the Christchurch attacks react to sentencing of the shooter who killed 51 in 2019. A court in New Zealand sentenced a self-confessed white supremacist who killed 51 Muslims as they prayed at two mosques in Christchurch to life in prison without parole, the first time such a sentence has been handed down in the country. “The trauma of March 15 is not easily healed, but today I hope is the last where we have any cause to hear or utter the name of the terrorist behind it,” said Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s Prime Minister. “Today I realised that I’ve made the best decision in my life to come to New Zealand, for the justice served in regards to this issue,” said Abdul Alabi Lateef, imam of the Linwood Mosque.
