From Morning Report, 6:45 am on 20 March 2019

The Islamic community is anxious and uneasy about the amount of time it's taking for the victims' bodies to be released. The Prime Minister said on Sunday she expected all 50 bodies to be released by Wednesday. But only six have been released, as of Tuesday night. A meeting is being held this morning at 9am where more information will be given. Dr Anwar Ghani is from the Federation of Islamic Associations of NZ and has been in Christchurch talking to families and authorities about the burials. He talks to Guyon Espiner.
