The head of the UN Human Rights Council has called Friday’s attacks on two mosques in New Zealand that left at least 49 people dead as “racist, Islamophobic, and terrorist”, Anadolu Agency reports.
“Racism is contrary to everything we stand for,” Michelle Bachelet told the Human Rights Council, meeting in Geneva on Friday.
Gunmen opened fire on worshippers during Friday prayers at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in istchurch, New Zealand.
Four suspects — three men and one woman — have been detained so far.
