50 people were martyred in the terrorist attack in Christchurch
It’s been one week since a terrorist attacked two mosques in Christchurch, claiming 50 innocent lives. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern led thousands of mourners gathered at a park in front of the Al Noor Mosque, where most of the victims died, for a prayer followed by two minutes of silence.
