Thousands attend New Zealand vigil to honour 50 mosque dead

CHRISTCHURCH: Thousands of other people have accumulated in the New Zealand town of Christchurch to hear prayers, songs and speeches at a vigil to keep in mind the 50 other people killed in a terrorist attack on two mosques.


One of the ones observing from a wheelchair was 21-year-old Mustafa Boztas, who was shot in the leg and liver throughout the March 15 attack on the Al Noor mosque.


Boztas says it was beautiful to see what the community had put in combination to show they care and that "we are all one."


Officials estimate up to 40,000 other people attended the development on a sunny Sunday evening at Hagley Park. It was hung on a level that were set up for a concert by way of Canadian singer Bryan Adams that was cancelled after the assaults.
