Candles are placed during a vigil to commemorate victims of Friday's terror attack, outside the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, Monday, March 18, 2019. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern vowed on Tuesday never to utter the name of the twin-mosque terrorist as she opened a sombre session of parliament with "as salaam alaikum" message of peace to Muslims.
She closed her address with "Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh - May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you too." Naeem Rasheed, one of the victims who tried to stop the attacker and secure his fellow Muslims, has been declared a hero by Pakistani government and the international media.
The statement said Tarrant was travelling by himself when he entered Hungary, did not appear on any terrorist databases, had not been flagged by authorities elsewhere and would have been allowed to stay in Hungary for up to 90 days without a visa. "Today was also agreed that there will be an inquiry to look at the specific circumstances leading up to the Christchurch mosques terror attack on March 15.
Under New Zealand law, if Tarrant pleads not guilty his case would normally go to trial, raising the possibility that he could face survivors and victims' families in court.
