New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, promised on Tuesday never to utter the name of the terrorist shooter responsible for last week's deadly mosque massacres, stressing he would face "the full force of the law in New Zealand".
"He sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety - that is why you will never hear me mention his name," the prime minister said in an urgent session of parliament, which she opened with the Arabic greeting "as salaam aleikum" - 'peace be upon you'.
"He is a terrorist. He is a criminal. He is an extremist. But he will, when I speak, be nameless," she added.
Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, was captured by police and has been charged with one count of murder, but Ardern assured parliament other charges would follow.
Dressed in black, the 38-year-old prime minister noted "I implore you: Speak the names of those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them."
She closed her address by noting that "on Friday, which will be a week since the attack, members of the Muslim community will gather for worship on that day. Let us acknowledge their grief as they do."
