Anniversary Of Christchurch Attack Celebrated On Multiple Platforms

Notorious Live-Stream Video, Manifesto, Memes, And Photos Located



(New York, N.Y.) — On March 15, multiple extremist accounts and channels on
Telegram as well as imageboard users on the surface and dark web celebrated the
fourth anniversary of the Christchurch terrorist attack, which left 51 people
dead. Users posted memes and supported further acts of violence.



In searches for related content, Counter Extremism Project (CEP) researchers
located the full version of the livestreamed attack video on a library download
site, as well as an account on Meta-owned Instagram that used a photo taken
from the attack video as a profile photo and a separate Instagram account that
posted aphoto

originally taken in 2020 threatening one of the attacked mosques.



CEP researchers also located a Twitter account created in October 2022 that
glorified the Christchurch terrorist and a separate account that, several days
before the fourth anniversary, posted a photo from the attack video in an
anti-Muslim threat made to another Twitter user.



An audiobook version of the attacker’s manifesto was located on Catbox.Moe.
and a video was found on the same library download website, uploaded on March
22, 2023, that contained footage from the livestreamed Christchurch attack
video. That video referenced James Mason’s bookSiege

included a montage supporting the neo-Nazi groupNational Socialist Order

. CEP reported all content to relevant national authorities.



Unfortunately, content depicting the Christchurch terrorist attack and
supporting similar acts of violence are continuously spread on multiple
platforms. Ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Christchurch attack in
2020, CEP researchersfound
