Christchurch: New Zealand observed few moments of silence on Friday as it marked a week since the twin mosque shootings in Christchurch that claimed 50 lives on March 15.
Around 20,000 people from across the nation participated in the weekly Friday prayers, including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, outside Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, Al Jazeera reported.
Al Noor is one of the two mosques that was targeted during the worst terror attack on New Zealand, allegedly carried out by 28-year-old Australian-born Brenton Tarrant, apart from the Linwood mosque.
