New Zealand's Ardern vows never to speak killer's name.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed Tuesday never to utter the name of the twin-mosque gunman as she opened a sombre session of parliament with an evocative"as-salaam alaikum" message of peace to Muslims.
"I implore you: Speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them." Peter Elms of New Zealand's immigration department said 65 visas had been granted for overseas family members so far. "The majority of people still have not had the opportunity to see their family members," he told AFP.
