Brenton Tarrant, a self-described white supremacist who murdered 51 Muslim worshipers at two Christchurch mosques in March 2019, has appealed his conviction and life sentence.
A representative for the Court of Appeal in Wellington, New Zealand's capital, said to several media sites on Tuesday that no date has been set for the hearing.
The appeal's justifications are still a mystery.
In March 2020, Mr Tarrant entered a plea guilty to 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder, and one count of carrying out a terrorist attack.
The attacks on the Al Noor mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch were filmed by the gunman and live-streamed on social media.
His sentencing marked both the first time New Zealand had issued a sentence with no chance of parole and the first time anyone had been sentenced for offending against New Zealand’s Terrorism Suppression Act.
The 2019 attack led to major gun reforms in the country, including the Christchurch Call, an initiative to tackle terrorist and extremist content online.
