‘My Father Was A Hero,’ Says Son Of New Zealand Islamophobic Attack Victim
Yama Nabi, son of Haji Daoud Nabi, one of the victims of the Christchurch terror attacks targeting two mosques in New Zealand, longs for his father.
On March 15, 2019, Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant killed 51 worshippers and injured 40 others at the Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre.
He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole last year in the first such ruling handed down in the island nation.
Haji Daoud Nabi appeared in the terrorist’s livestream of the attack.
He unknowingly welcomed Tarrant into the mosque with the words, “Hello, brother,” and was among the first to be killed.
On Wednesday, activists and victims’ family members attended a peace symposium honoring the victims, including Nabi.
