Prince William has released a statement on the fifth anniversary of the Christchurch terror attack, remembering victims and stressing the importance of uniting against extremism.
The Prince of Wales took to X (formerly Twitter) to say: “Five years on from the terrorist attack in Christchurch, my thoughts are with the families and friends of those lost, those injured and the entire Muslim community in New Zealand who responded to this horrific event with such courage and fortitude.
“When I visited Christchurch in the weeks that followed, I was struck by the unity forged by an attack which aimed to sow division. It is a constant reminder to me of why we must come together and unite against extremism.”
He signed his tweet “W.”
On 15 March 2019, Muslim worshippers in Christchurch, New Zealand, were attacked at two mosques during Friday prayer. The perpetrator was a white supremacist who later pleaded guilty to all charges. He is now serving a life sentence.
