Christchurch, New Zealand – CNN —Sitting side by side in the mosque’s meeting room, Temel Ataçocuğu and Imam Gamal Fouda hunch over in laughter. But today, the two have agreed to meet at the mosque and catch up on five years’ worth of personal news. But behind his home, a modest townhouse on a quiet street in central Christchurch, he’s found purpose in the flowers, succulents, fruits and vegetables he’s planted. After the shooting, Ataçocuğu was hospitalized for over a month and feared he would never play again. Here, Ataçocuğu is known as a funny, warmhearted and competitive striker, not just a survivor of the Christchurch mosque shootings.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) — An inquiry that began Tuesday into New Zealand’s worst mass-shooting will examine — among other issues — the response times of police and medics and whether any of the 51 people who were killed could have been saved. The inquiry represents the first time authorities will outline the details of how they responded to the March 2019 shooting. One of the issues under examination is whether an emergency door in the Al Noor mosque was functioning at the time of the shooting — and if not, why not. Farrant gave evidence that the shooting began at 1:40 p.m. at the Al Noor mosque, where 44 people were killed, and the first emergency calls began about a minute later. Ambulance staff entered the Al Noor mosque at 2:15 p.m., Farrant said, and began removing victims eight minutes later.

The New York City Police Department was called to an apartment complex in the 300 block of Linwood Street in East New York around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday to conduct the check. When officers arrived to the woman’s sixth-floor apartment, they found two suitcases containing human remains, police said. However, it’s not clear if the victim’s entire body was accounted for. It’s also not clear if the remains belong to the woman subject of the wellness check.

☆ Clopotul păcii mondiale din Christchurch a bătut de 51 de ori, în memoria victimelor atacurilor din 2019

Clopotul inaugurat în 2006, situat în grădina botanică a oraşului, a fost tras într-o scurtă ceremonie organizată luni după-amiaza, iar la cele două moschei unde au avut loc atacurile armate din 2019, Al Noor şi Linwood, s-au desfăşurat rugăciuni în cadru privat.O festivitate naţională de comemorare a avut loc sâmbătă.În ziua împlinirii a doi ani de la masacru, preşedintele american Joe Biden a transmis un mesaj în care a asigurat că SUA condamnă, la unison cu Noua Zeelandă, toate formele de terorism, indiferent de ideologie. "Gândurile şi rugăciunile noastre rămân alături de victime şi familiile lor. Ca societate democratică, respingem orice încercare a unor indivizi sau grupuri de a instiga la intoleranţă şi ură", a spus Biden într-un comunicat.Liderul de la Casa Albă a menţionat că lupta împotriva "extremismului cu motivaţie rasială sau etnică", inclusiv a ideologiei "supremaţiei albe", reprezintă o prioritate pentru preşedinţia sa.Washingtonul "se angajează să coopereze cu parteneri internaţionali pentru a împiedica terorismului sub toate formele sale", a subliniat Biden în comunicatul său, adăugând că SUA "încurajează companiile de tehnologie să aplice condiţii şi standarde ferme pentru a-i opri pe terorişti să le utilizeze platformele ca mijloc de incitare la violenţă".Cei ucişi în atacurile de la 15 martie de la Christchurch au fost omagiaţi într-un eveniment desfăşurat sâmbătă la care portretele lor au fost proiectate pe un ecran în timp ce membri ai familiilor îndoliate le citeau numele.La evenimentul difuzat live online au luat parte între alţii membri ai comunităţii musulmane locale, ai guvernului, dar şi ai tribului indigen local Ngai Tuahuriri, scrie agerpres.ro. Anul trecut, comemorarea la nivel naţional a fost anulată din cauza pandemiei de coronavirus.Autorul masacrului, australianul Brenton Tarrant (30 de ani), adept al supremaţiei albilor, a fost condamnat în august anul trecut la închisoare pe viaţă, pedeapsa maximă în Noua Zeelandă.
