There is concern that the accused, Brenton Tarrant, wants to use his trial for his extremist views.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has vowed she will never mention the name of the man accused of killing at least 50 people in the Christchurch mosques terror attack on March 15.
That and the online publication of a manifesto of his ideology, posted just before the shootings, has fueled concern that he intends to use the court as a platform to promote his extremist views, which is what far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik tried to do during his trial for the Norwegian attacks in 2011.
She said the gunman"obviously had a range of reasons" for his acts and that"lifting his profile was one of them. “I think we really will be looking to the media around its kind of coverage. That's why, as I say, this is a conversation I think really the media can play a strong role in. Otago University legal issues center director, Bridgette Toy-Cronin, told Radio New Zealand that this would limit the chances for political material to be entered as evidence.
