The messages were addressed to New Zealand’s Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters.
An attacker armed with semi-automatic weapons rampaged through two mosques in the quiet New Zealand city of Christchurch on March 15, killing 49 worshippers and wounding dozens more.
