Hearing of Gunman in New Zealand

The hearing of the Australian Brenton Tarrant began on Monday. He had killed 51 people and wounded 40 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, last year. Brenton Tarrant had already pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder and terrorism. On Thursday he was then sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for release by the judges. The sentence is the harshest sentence in New Zealand.

Hi everyone! My name is Lilly and I am a high school student based in Germany, where I am currently enrolled in the IB diploma programme. Aside from founding EconIR WEB, I am also the President of JEC Berlin. Being a student who has a deep interest and passion for economics and international relations myself, I know how challenging it can be to find ways to engage with your areas of interest. Therefore, I created EconIR WEB. I hope that through EconIR WEB we will be able to build a strong community of students who share the same passion. Cant wait for you to join!
