Mosque attacks: Islamic Women's Council wants coronial inquiry

From Morning Report, 8:28 am on 6 September 2021

The Islamic Womens Council holds strong concerns that the Chief Coroner will choose not to make any recommendations, nor undertake an inquiry, following the deaths of 51 people in the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks.

People have until Thursday 9 September to make a submission on whether there should be a coronial inquiry into the deaths.

The Islamic Womens Council says such an inquiry is vital, as are a coroner's recommendations in order to help prevent further mass shooting deaths in New Zealand.

The Council's national coordinator Aliya Danzeisen spoke to Susie Ferguson.
