Two years after a terrorist killed 51 people and injured dozens at two Christchurch mosques, victims and their families are still struggling with the wide-ranging impacts of the horrific attack. MARINÉ LOURENS reports.
Since March 15, 2019 a terrorist has been jailed for life, a royal commission of inquiry completed, the Ministry for Ethnic Communities is close to being established, police’s response to hate crimes strengthened, programmes implemented to prevent terrorist and violent extremism, the Christchurch Call signed by 48 countries, and New Zealand has decided to join the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime.
