Muslims in New Zealand are not satisfied with the way an inquiry launched after the Christchurch terror attacks, that killed 51 people in March, is led. According to the New York Times, the investigation promised by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and expected to consult the Muslim community in the country failed to shoulder some of its promises.
Members of a panel of Muslims appointed to «advise the inquiry» told the newspaper that they have been «sidelined by the officials» conducting the eight-month investigation.
«They said they had no way to request that the inquiry look into certain issues, like their treatment by law enforcement agencies in the years before the attacks», the same source reported.
Speaking to the New York Times, Shayma’a Arif, a member of the panel, said that the investigation’s process is «not very transparent, and people don’t know if they can trust the system, they don’t know if they can trust the process».
For the record, Muslims in New Zealand were shocked by the two terrorist attacks that targeted two mosques in the city of Christchurch in March. The man behind the attacks, Brenton Tarrant, described in media reports as a white supremacist, killed 51 Muslim worshippers and injured others.
