This terrorist is complaining. Christchurch mosque attack terrorist seeking judicial review of his prison conditions - NZ Herald

 

Christchurch mosque shooter [terrorist name removed] has applied to the High Court for a judicial review of his prison conditions.

 

His application solely relates to aspects of his detention and will have no bearing on his conviction or sentence.

 

The terrorist is held in the Prisoners of Extreme Risk Unit, a highly secure facility within Auckland Prison at Paremoremo housing the country’s most dangerous offenders.

 

It remains unclear at this stage exactly what aspects of his prison conditions he is seeking a judicial review of.

 

The terrorist participated in a telephone conference on Thursday morning with Justice Geoffrey Venning of the Auckland High Court, along with a Crown lawyer.

 

The Herald was granted permission to listen to the preliminary case management conference, which dealt with administrative matters, but is unable to report what was said.

 

A spokeswoman for the Office of the Chief Justice confirmed the case management conference related to a judicial review of decisions made by the Department of Corrections about aspects of his prison conditions.
