Members of the public had gathered in front of the High Court in Christchurch to support relatives of victims killed in the 2019 twin mosque shootings AFP/Sanka VIDANAGAMACHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand: Muslims and non-Muslims cheered and sang together outside a New Zealand court Thursday as the white supremacist who unleashed carnage at two mosques was jailed for life, with one survivor saying he will be able to sleep at night again.
Afghan refugee Taj Kamran, who was shot several times in the leg and still requires walking aids, leaned against a fence as he raised his arms in joy."I could not sleep after the shooting, I cried a lot." "No punishment is going to bring our loved ones back and our sadness will continue for the rest of our lives," he said.
And Haminah Tuyan, whose husband was killed by Tarrant, said she was"relieved and at peace" and was going home to pray. Hazim Al-Umari, father of 35-year-old Hussein who was shot dead while trying to protect others, said the life sentence was what he wanted.
