New Zealand’s Prime Minister: stop distributing Christchurch shootings clip

The Parliament of New Zealand on Tuesday commemorated the 50 victims of Friday's attack in two mosques in Christchurch. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern appealed to online companies to prevent the distribution of a film showing this crime.

A supposed assassin, a 28-year-old supporter of the extreme right wing from Australia, Brenton Tarrant, is currently in custody. The start date of his trial has not yet been announced. He faces a life sentence. The 17-minute video he made, in which he documented the crimes he committed, continues to circulate on the internet. (PAP)
