The New Zealand Court of Appeals confirmed that terrorist Brenton Tarrant filed an appeal last week.
The court did not provide a date for when the hearing would take place, following Tarrant's application.
Temel Ataçocuğu, who was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after 9 bullets hit various parts of his body and underwent many surgeries, stated that the attacker was ‘trying to attract attention’ by appealing.
Ataçocuğu said, “I want to say to him; grow up, be a man and die quietly in prison, because that's what you deserve.”
Australian terrorist Brenton Tarrant, who settled in the house he rented in Dunedin, New Zealand to carry out the terrorist attack, and was found to be practicing target practice at the shooting ranges there, attacked Muslims with automatic weapons, who were praying in two mosques in Christchurch.
In the attack on the Nur and Linwood mosques on March 15, 2019, during the Friday prayers, 51 people were martyred including women and children, 49 people were injured including 2 Turkish citizens.
The anti-Islamic terrorist, who broadcast the bloody attack live on his social media account and defended the supremacy of the white race, was caught by the police right after the attack.
Tarrant was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole after being convicted of 51 murders, 40 attempted murders and one terrorism offense at the Christchurch High Court on August 27, 2020.
