The Christchurch shooting is now a subject of great debate in New Zealand more so since an Iranian born lawmaker is provided security after receiving threats by white supremacists.
Iranian Green party lawmaker Golriz Ghahraman is the subject of hate speech in New Zealand.
Green party lawmaker Golriz Ghahraman, a human rights lawyer who was born in Iran and came to New Zealand as a child refugee, has seen an escalation of threats against her in recent weeks. “After Christchurch, New Zealand has asked us to be different. New Zealanders want us to debate issues robustly, but to keep personal attacks out of it. We have all learnt that words, including online posts, have consequences,” she told reporters in parliament.
Ghahraman has told Reuters previously of death threats and xenophobia including being called a “terrorist” and “jihadist” online.
